Nicole Scherzinger Wins Tony & Ascends to Broadway Olympus, Crying, Screaming, Throwing Glitter

Buy Me A Coffee

Nicole Scherzinger just won Best Actress in a Musical at the 2025 Tony Awards, and somewhere in the distance, a Pussycat Doll just purred with pride.

The crowd at Radio City Music Hall basically levitated when Nicole Mariah-Carey-walked her way to the stage to collect her sparkly new trophy. She beat out a legendary gang of divas — including Audra “Tony Collector Pokémon” McDonald, Jasmine Amy Rogers from Boop (yes, that’s a real musical and not a Teletubby reboot), and double diva doom-duo Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard from Death Becomes Her — to take the crown. Yes, it was bloodbath-level Broadway drama and we loved every second.

And who handed her the award? OPRAH. ACTUAL OPRAH WINFREY. The woman who gives out cars gave Nicole a career milestone instead. Iconic.

Once onstage, Nicole went full emotional breakdown (in the chicest way possible). Mascara was wept off. Voices cracked. Theater ghosts from the 1800s wept in the rafters. She told the crowd:

“Growing up, I always felt like I didn’t belong. But you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home, at last.”

I mean, if your therapist didn’t just collapse from joy hearing that, are you even in your healing era?

She also shouted out director Jamie Lloyd, the dark wizard of avant-garde revivals, saying:

“Jamie Lloyd, you saw in me what know one else did.”

(And yes, we’re going to let “know one” slide because she just WON A TONY and was in the middle of an emotional Shakespearean moment, okay?!)

She thanked him for making her Sunset Blvd dreams come true, and basically admitted he turned her into the Norma Desmond of Gen Z — but with better abs.

Also important: She performed at the show and apparently left half the audience in spiritual cardiac arrest. TikTok thirst accounts are reportedly being flooded. You’ve been warned.

Final PSA: The revival closes July 20, so run — don’t speedwalk — to buy tickets, sell your blood plasma if you must. This is your Roman Empire now.
