Cheryl was likely feeling under pressure to impress with her close friends and bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts both in attendance.

Taking her front row seat for the press night of the performance, Nicola shared a picture of the stage as she declared: "Ready for our girl."

The popstar looked incredible as she wore a shimmering black minidress which featured a unique green detailing up the front.

The Masked Singer winner Nicola teamed her outfit with with a pair of black tights and chunky jet black heels.

Kimberley looked equally as stylish as she dazzled photographers in a long black maxi dress that featured red floral detailing throughout.

It is believed that Cheryl could be pocketing one of the biggest fees in West End history as she is reportedly picking up a staggering £750,000 for her role.
