It would have been great if Eva Noblezada had won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Lead Actress in a Musical. Eva, who is of Filipino and Mexican-American parentage, also made her debut in the revival of Miss Saigon in 2017. She got her second this year at the 73rd Tony Awards for her work in Hadestown, where she plays Eurydice. The folk rock opera with book, music and lyrics by Anais Mitchell won eight Tonys out of 14 nominations. Hadestown is based on Mitchell’s folk opera album of the same title that was recorded nearly 10 years ago.
