Eva Noblezada didn't win in 2016 and she was far more successful than the actual winner. Apparently Jasmin auditioned for Once on This Island so who knows.
2023 AND SHE HAS BEEN A REVELATION IN THE BETTY BOOP MUSICAL! Without a doubt this show is going to arrive late or early on Broadway and she will be a great star born just to be nominated for the Tony Awards!
If you’re here and thinking ‘wow, can’t wait to support her career’, check out the musical Becoming Nancy! She played Frances Bassey for the regional production at the Alliance Theatre and was absolutely phenomenal.
I saw her receive best actress at the Tommy Tune awards a couple years ago...I don’t remember the entirety of it but in her acceptance speech/thank you/etc she had a really incredible story, and came from a rough background. She was incredible then as now.
