Nicole Scherzinger posed for backstage photos while covered in fake blood after her Broadway performance at Sunset Blvd on Thursday.

The former Pussycat Doll singer, 46, had photos with ballerina Misty Copeland and actor Taye Diggs while still dressed as her character Norma Desmond.

Nicole, who was dripping in fake blood and wearing a long black dress, seemed in good spirits as she hugged the stars after her performance.

Misty, 42, looked stunning in a sheer blue blouse and blue wide-leg jeans.

She completed the look with black pointed boots and accessorized with a black belt and minimal jewelry.

Taye, 53, looked stylish in a black top with a dog print on it and layered with a white and orange cardigan.

Nicole also briefly posed with her Sunset Blvd co-star Tom Francis, 25, who wore an all-black ensemble.

The actress received five standing ovations for her incredible performance on the musical’s opening night.

Ahead of the show, Nicole took to Instagram to share a photo of herself with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jamie Lloyd as they rehearsed for opening night.

She wrote, “Tonight I’m making my Broadway debut. I can hardly believe it. Little Nicole has been waiting for this all her life. And I get to do it with this beautiful cast @sunsetblvdmusical and these two heroes of mine @andrewlloydwebber @jamielloyd’.

Nicole initially played the role of Norma when the film opened in London last year, with West End legend Rachel Tucker acting as her deputy.

She and co-star Tom both won an Olivier for their efforts, and Tom has joined the Don’t Cha singer on Broadway.

Nicole and Tom are also joined in the show by fellow London co-stars Grace Hodgett-Young and David Thaxton as they all made their Broadway debuts.

Nicole recently admitted that despite her success in theatre, she initially felt ‘thrown away’ by the industry after her pop career.

She told People: ‘I’m (46) years old. I have never been stronger – physically, mentally, emotionally. I’m in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that is meaningful in this world.

“That’s the tragedy: that you’re in the best place in your life. You’re so full, you have so much to give, and people have thrown you away, sent you away and said, ‘Your time is up…’

Nicole then emphasized that it has been her “lifelong dream” to make it to The Great White Way, which comes after appearances on shows like Cats and Rent since her pop heyday.

Nicole’s success in the London run of Sunset Boulevard did not go entirely smoothly, as she stumbled on her way to the stage during the awards ceremony.

After kissing her fiancé Thom Evans, Nicole gingerly made her way to the Royal Albert Hall stage in her daring dress.

Host Hannah Waddingham helped her up the stairs, but when she reached the top, the actress stumbled, with actor David Oyelowo reaching out to help her.

Ahead of opening night on Broadway, Nicole put on a leggy show in a short white dress as she celebrated her starring role at a cocktail party in New York.

In her acceptance speech, she said: “First of all, I would like to thank God for saving me from that journey. But seriously, without him I am nothing.”

Nicole looked sensational in the crisp puff-sleeved number, showing off her toned legs.

She opted for a swipe of bold red lipstick and heavy eyeshadow and pulled her dark locks into a ponytail.
