On June 8, Nicole Scherzinger received her first Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for portraying Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. During her acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude for achieving her dreams as a diverse artist.

She also thanked her family and praised the show's composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Her performance has been hailed as courageous and mesmerizing, contributing to her influence in Hollywood and Broadway.
Thank you, Scherzinger said through tears while accepting the award at Radio City Music Hall... for making this little Hawaiian Ukranian Filipino girl's dream come true.
Scherzinger, who hails from Kentucky, has become one of the most prominent Asian Pacific stage actors.
Time is fleeting for all of us, and Norma struggled with abandonment, deep loneliness, feeling unseen, and not accepted, Scherzinger told TIME.
A lot of us feel that way, especially in this industry.
