And she was joined by singers Katy, 40, and Meghan, 30, with the ladies all posing for snaps together at The St. James Theatre.
Katy showed off her figure a white vest top and tight black leggings while Meghan wore an all-black ensemble and stylish Louis Vuitton scarf.
Firework singer Katy shared snaps and videos of the night out to her Instagram Story as Nicole signed her show programme.
Nicole caught the eye in a tight black dress after the show and was still covered in fake blood from the show.

It comes after last week Nicole posted a poignant throwback Instagram clip sharing her wishes to become a theatre star – 16 years before going on to have a successful Broadway stint.
The social media video from back in 2008 showed her filming the music video for her band’s hit When I Grow Up – across the road from the Broadway theatres in New York.
Looking fresh-faced she says in the clip: ‘It’s so crazy because growing up I thought I’d be doing that, that I’d be on that side of the street not on this side of the street.
‘But one day I’ll make it back home to the stage again, I miss it…’
The video then showed snippets of her on stage in Sunset Boulevard and getting ready behind the scenes – illustrating how she had made it.
She penned in the caption: ‘BTS footage of PCD’s ‘When I Grow Up’ music video — 16 years later… I made it back home. @sunsetblvdmusical.’
Nicole portrays fading star Norma Desmond in the Broadway musical – who dreams of making her comeback and enlists the help of a struggling screenwriter.
It’s based on the 1950 film of the same name and first opened on London’s West End in 1993 starring Patti Lupone as Norma Desmond, with Glenn Close starring in the Broadway run in 1994.
Close also returned for the West End revival in 2016 and the Broadway revival in 2017, though Scherzinger starred in the 2023 West End revival.

She took home the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and following a successful preview run – taking in $1 million in the first week – the show opened in earnest in October at the St. James Theatre.
Nicole has received numerous standing ovations throughout her Broadway debut so far, including one, according to People, that lasted a whopping six minutes.
Last year, it was reported that theatre bosses hired award-winning movement director Ingrid Mackinnon to help prepare Nicole for her intimate scenes with her co-star Tom Francis, according to The Sun.
An insider on the show told the publication: ‘Intimacy coordinators are mandatory now because actors need to feel safe with their co-stars.
‘In the past, people were taken advantage of, with actors crossing boundaries on stage.
‘A coach helps to ensure no lines are blurred which helps stamp out sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.’
Despite her acclaimed performances, Nicole was recently booed at the end of one of her acclaimed Broadway performances after her support for Donald Trump was revealed.
The New York City audience let their feelings known as the leading lady bowed to the crowd after her turn as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard earlier this month.
While most in the venue were cheering, a few audible boos also rang out, days after Nicole’s MAGA leanings became public knowledge.
Scherzinger – who has had a history of puzzling political takes – was slammed over two posts. She complimented Russell Brand on a MAGA-inspired Christian hat, and liked a post by Robert F Kennedy Jr hailing the Trump administration.
She later broke her silence over the furor, taking to her Instagram story in a word salad apology.
It did nothing to quell the anger of progressives furious at Scherzinger for having different beliefs to them, with some MAGA fans also irritated at her apparent flip-flop.
Billy Porter was also there for the show

Nicole recently admitted that despite her success in theatre, she had initially felt ‘discarded’ by the industry following her pop career
Nicole recently admitted that despite her success in theatre, she had initially felt ‘discarded’ by the industry following her pop career.
She told People: ‘I’m [46] years old. I’ve never been more strong — physically, mentally, emotionally. I’m in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that is meaningful in this world.
‘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.
