1 hour 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.

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.

Donald Trump’s proposals are in play, but here in the West Bank we live in fear that the devastation of Gaza is coming our wayBeing an eternal optimist, I hoped that the events of 7 October 2023 – Hamas’s attack on southern Israel and breaking of the Israeli siege of Gaza – might precipitate a reappraisal of Israeli strategy towards the Palestinians. I hoped Israeli leaders would come to realise the futility of protecting their country by building walls, however impregnable.Instead, the attack did the opposite.
