Nicole stars as silent movie star Norma Desmond in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, which is based on the film by Billy Wilder.
In a statement, Darius Thompson and Alex Wood of WhatsOnStage said: ‘What a year for UK theatre this has been.
‘It is striking just how audiences are keen to lend their support to bold, experimental takes on classic tales – from solo versions of Chekhov to immersive takes on classic musicals, or radical re-imaginings of Andrew Lloyd Webber shows.’
At the event, Nicole was joined by her beloved fiancé Thom Evans, 38, who came along to support his future wife-to-be.
The loved-up couple are preparing to tie the knot after the former rugby player popped the question in June 2023.
And looking happier than ever, Thom and Nicole packed on the PDA as they arrived to the star-studded ceremony.
As well as James, Luke Thompson received an award for his role in A Little Life.
The four-hour play saw James and Luke praised for their performances in the stage adaptation Hanya Yanagihara’s much-adored novel.

James looked downcast as he made his first public appearance at the awards since he split from his ex fiancée Imogen Poots.
The Happy Valley star, 38, posed on the red carpet as he arrived to the ceremony solo.
James looked incredibly dapper in an oversized black suit, while donning a casual white T-shirt and polished black shoes.
Despite his heartbreak, James did his best to smile as he posed on the carpet before heading into the ceremony.
His outing comes shortly after his split from Imogen, 34, was announced earlier this week – as the couple called time on their six-year relationship.
