Who thought they were worthy of purchase for the nation?Nordic noir. Wasn’t that a genre that had people abuzz back in the 00s? Its revival by the British Museum’s prints and drawings department as a title for an exhibition of modern and contemporary Scandinavian graphic art seems desperate. Forget our oldies like Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci – we’re all about new stuff by hot young Scandi artists!

9 h. ago Nicole Scherzinger review – raunchy gags and dazzling stylistic zigzags

Royal Albert Hall, London Riding high off Tony and Olivier wins, the Pussycat Doll turned theatre star showcases her astonishingly versatile singing chops and a standup’s gift for chaotic humourAs an impatient slow-clap echoes around west London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall – the star is running 45 minutes late – a seemingly nonplussed Nicole Scherzinger suddenly appears in spotlight, drenched in sparkly diamonds. Having built a career out of overcoming obstacles – breaking out of the shackles of both a girlband (the 55m-selling Pussycat Dolls) and various TV talent show judging panels – a little polite animosity isn’t going to rain on her parade. Later, during a rendition of Maybe This Time from Cabaret, just as hope overcomes despair, she introduces the crowd to her friends “Lawrence and Tony”, AKA the awards she won for her rapturously-received turn in Sunset Boulevard.Billed as An Evening with Nicole Scherzinger, tonight’s aim is to fuse all of her career tangents. Split into two ...
