Eva Noblezada: Escaping the People-Pleasing Trap and Shaking Off the Noise

Eva Noblezada: Escaping the People-Pleasing Trap and Shaking Off the Noise Welcome to the sensational season one finale of Entre Acts with host Linedy Genao! To close out this chapter, Linedy is joined on the couch by a true force of nature, her very own The Great Gatsby castmate, and two-time Tony Award nominee, Eva Noblezada. The backstage dressing roommates skip right past the glitz and glamour to deliver an unfiltered, high-energy conversation. They kick things off with a rowdy game of dominoes, alignment checking their favorite pizza slices, and debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza (spoiler: Eva is a fierce defender of the pineapple, jalapeno, and bacon combo). Eva takes a nostalgic look at her fascination with the 1920s jazz era and speakeasies, before showing off a flawless West London accent picked up from her years headlining the West End. Linedy also gets a hilarious, step-by-step masterclass on how to properly insert a lime wedge into a bottle of Corona the "Reeve Carney way." As they step into the heartfelt middle layer of the sándwichito format, Eva opens up about what it means to preserve your mental well-being in an industry that demands absolute devotion. Having worked consistently with very few career gaps since her teenage debut, Eva emphasizes that rest and recovery are non-negotiable. She recalls the terrifying early days of the 2020 pandemic when she was practicing pole dancing and nearly called a West Side Highway strip club out of sheer panic for the future of live theater. Eva and Linedy get candid about the toxic nature of public speculation, with Eva reflecting on navigating heavy periods of online criticism and learning to reclaim her own narrative. To wrap up the season, the duo dives into a chaotic, Gatsby-themed round of "Bed, Wed, Dead" (where Eva hilariously beds Reeve Carney in a blonde wig), gives a passionate shoutout to their backstage "Cheez-It" floor supply, and goes on a wild, mind-bending deep dive into cloning, time travel, and hidden underground cities. Eva Noblezada is a Grammy Award-winning and two-time Tony Award-nominated powerhouse vocalist and actress celebrated as one of the definitive leading ladies of her generation. At just 17 years old, she was handpicked to star in the West End revival of Miss Saigon, a role she later reprised on Broadway to earn her first Tony nomination. She followed this triumph by originating the role of Eurydice in the Tony-winning smash hit Hadestown on both sides of the Atlantic. Her elite theatrical credits also include a critically acclaimed West End run as Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Eva is currently originating the role of Daisy Buchanan in the Broadway production of The Great Gatsby.
