From Pop Stardom to the West End
After an illustrious career with the celebrated girl group Girls Aloud, Nicola Roberts is set to captivate audiences once again, this time on London’s prestigious West End stage in the acclaimed musical Hadestown. Known for her extraordinary voice and vibrant stage presence, Roberts has galvanized a fan base with 21 Top 10 hits and a unique flair that made her an indispensable part of the pop group phenomenon.
From Girls Aloud to Theatre
Roberts’ journey began at just 16 years old, when she auditioned for the reality show Popstars: The Rivals, launching her from school halls in Runcorn, Cheshire, into the glimmering world of pop fame. Under the spotlight of Girls Aloud, she showcased her versatile talents with hits like Sound of the Underground, No Good Advice, and the emotive Call the Shots.
As the group took a hiatus in 2009—though they reunited for tours in 2013 and 2024—Roberts expanded her artistry. She released a solo album, Cinderella’s Eyes, became a judge on the fashion design show Styled to Rock, co-wrote hits for artists like Little Mix, and even made her mark in musical theatre with City of Angels.
Stepping into the Role of Persephone
Now, as she heads back to the West End in Hadestown, Roberts will portray Persephone in Anaïs Mitchell’s innovative retelling of the classic Orpheus and Eurydice tale. This thrilling opportunity allows her to showcase her range as both a performer and a storyteller, promising an unforgettable experience starting from September 16th at London’s Lyric Theatre.
