Curtain Call
The Broadway star gives us a front-row seat to life backstage.
Eva Noblezada is almost never alone.
Shes very charming, she says of Daisy.
Below, Noblezada talks through her pre-curtain rituals, a big challenge, and how she winds down.
I have to crack my knuckles in a certain way to feel ready.
Then I do my makeup.
I play thisGatsbysummer playlist.
On inhabiting Daisy:
Im working on being more confident.
My appearance has unfortunately been a huge insecurity in my life.
The challenge with this role has been that Daisy is beautiful.
She sits in these gorgeous garments, and if anything, its her that makes them look expensive.
I get very uncomfortable being perceived as Eva.
My character doesnt have those insecurities.
On relaxing post-show:
I am a big candle girlie.
Then I can be a silly goose and color and watch a movie for the 18th time.
Right now, Im watchingSex and the City, as all the cool girls are.
I love Disney+ and Studio Ghibli movies.
But my partner and I love watchingThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette, so were really excited becauseBachelor in Paradisestarts soon.
Its hard to not want to go out and party.
It allows us to take that big inhale-exhale together and go, Wow, we did that.
