Tony-Nominated Actress Eva Noblezada's Plans After "Miss Saigon"
At the age of 21, Eva Noblezada received a Tony nomination for her role as Kim in "Miss Saigon." She has played Kim for three years - first in London and then on Broadway in New York City. After the curtain closes on January 14, she says she's ready for a new character to play.
Noblezada says she first started singing "as a fetus." Her early favorite? "The Little Mermaid."
Now, Noblezada says she prefers to sing jazz. She is starring in her own one-woman show called "Girl No More" at The Green Room 42 in New York City. The sold-out series just added two new dates in January.
