  • Tony nominee Eva Noblezada took over the Tony Awards on Sunday night with a performance of "I'd Give My Life for You"/"Exodus" from Miss Saigon.
    She played Kim, a role originated by Lea Salonga in the 1991 original Broadway production, in the 2017 revival. In the musical, Kim, a young bar girl orphaned by the Vietnam War, falls in love with Chris, an American GI. With the fall of Saigon, they are separated, and she is left with their son.
    Jon Jon Briones plays The Engineer in this revival, a role originated by Jonathan Price, and Alistar Brammer plays Chris.
    The ensemble also performed a bit of "This Is the Hour."
    Laurence Connor directs the production, which hails from the Les Miserables team of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. After nabbing two Tony nominations, the show will segue from its limited Broadway engagement to a national tour.

    Holy crap, it’s surreal to see Eva at the Tony’s. The Noblezadas and I went to church together for years when they were living in Charlotte. Her entire family was probably the sweetest group of people I’ve ever met, her included. It’s just incredibly to see how much she’s grown as a vocalist since back then; she absolutely deserves every ounce of praise coming her way.

      Might I also add they're usually not as low profile on a daily compared to Hollywood Stars; their fanbase is a lot smaller, so it's no surprise they still are able to live in society normally.

    I was in the audience for the dress rehearsal earlier that day, I didn't know anything about miss saigon and it captivated me and moved me to tears. I ended up seeing it later that year, and I think I was a little too young to see it, I was only 14. but my parents came with me and I cried the whole show and then afterwards cried until the theater was empty. too young. but I don't regret it for a second. it was astounding, and I think it shaped me in a way I can't describe.
    edit: I forgot to mention the helicopter! it was astounding. there are no words for the helicopter. it legitimately scared me. it was supposed to. and I don't think anything can really replicate that feeling of seeing and hearing and feeling in my bones the helicopter.

It is extremely rare for someone to succeed the original actor/actress who played the role and be widely known as “better” a sense of familiarity is still tied with the originals. I think that Lea is amazing and a Broadway legend, but I honestly think that Eva is one of the best actresses of the modern generation on Broadway right now. I really think that the way she handles the song vocally brings a lot to the character and the song in general.
