Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger is hanging up the patent leather corsets and leggings for now. While the Pussycat Dolls are on hiatus, the lead doll has taken a new job in a musical.

The 31-year-old singer is working with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber on his new play “Love Never Dies,” the sequel to “The Phantom of the Opera.” A rep for Scherzinger confirmed the reports to MTV News. The exact role she will play is currently unknown.

The show will premiere at London’s Adelphi Theatre on March 9 with a Broadway opening on November 11, 2010, according to the Los Angeles Times. An Australian debut is planned for 2011.
