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

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

She finished the look with black pointed boots and accessorised with a black belt and minimal jewellery.

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

Nicole also posed for a snap with her Sunset Blvd co-star Tom Francis, 25, who donned an all black ensemble.

The actress received five standing ovations for her incredible performance throughout the opening night of the musical. 

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

She penned: ‘Tonight I make my Broadway Debut. I can hardly believe it. Little Nicole has waited for this her whole 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 it opened in London last year, whilst West End legend Rachel Tucker served as her alternate.

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 had initially felt ‘discarded’ by the industry following her pop career.

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

Nicole then insisted that it has been her ‘lifelong dream’ to make it to The Great White Way, which comes after appearances in shows like Cats and Rent since her pop heyday.

Nicole’s success in the London run of Sunset Boulevard did not go totally without a hitch as she had a stumble on her way up to the stage during the awards ceremony.

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

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