London, June 7 (IANS) Singer Nicole Scherzinger has been roped in for Neil Patrick Harris’ stage directorial debut ‘Rent’.

Harris is all praises for Scherzinger’s acting.

‘Nicole had a wonderful audition – she was well prepared, sang beautifully, and had us all laughing. If only she was somewhat attractive and didn’t have two left feet. I’m very excited to have finally finished the casting process, and look forward to rolling up my sleeves and start rehearsing,’ contactmusic.com quoted Harris as saying.

The Pussycat Dolls star will portray Maureen in the one-off Los Angeles production when it hits the Hollywood Bowl for three nights in August.
