"Hey Asian!" 😂😂😂😂

[@whattheheooooo]

I died laughing at that part

[@court9311]

I’m so honored to be 1000

[@justmemyselfandi3131]

"HEY ASIAN!!! ...So sweet."

[@hannahremmel9550]

I literally spit when the, “hey Asian” happened. This is pure broadway gold. Jonathan is grinning

[@megankarow2328]

i was already blown away before i realized that this is a step higher than the original key. eva and shoshana are goddesses.

[@Keith_Petersen_Actor]

This is...lower?

[@shahafcarmieli3858]

It's lower so they can sing higher better if that makes sense.

[@Keith_Petersen_Actor]

@@shahafcarmieli3858 Yeah, i got that, but its so disappointing...

[@mrsonicspeed101]

Singing something in a lower key isn’t bad, if it means the performer can perform better, then it’s better overall.

[@Keith_Petersen_Actor]

@@mrsonicspeed101 .... Dont sing it if you cant hit it

[@georgieag]

If Eva never plays Maureen then there is something wrong with the world.

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

Georgia Griffiths I feel she'd be a perfect Mimi😍❤

[@michelleyang4790]

Georgia Griffiths she liked my instagram comment asking her to audition for rent live......who knows?

[@andresfelipe619]

Maureen is traditionally cast as a white woman in juxtaposition to the upper class, hard working Joanne who is traditionally cast as black. It's actually a social statement made by the writer so rightfully speaking it'll never happen... but WOW what a voice this girl has! She's insanely talented!

[@wowitscat]

Andy Eubanks u right no way they’d give any of the main cast roles to an Asian person, the rent roles all have very specific looks

[@andresfelipe619]

Sophie Lee its not so much about the look as it is about the social statements that are meant to be made by these characters ethnic backgrounds. Angel is an ambiguous ethnicity, as is Mimi, though both are usually cast as hispanic characters. I've seen those two cast anywhere from Asian to black, and it works pretty alright because their story isn't too dependant on their ethnicity except for a few lines like "Mimi Marquez" and "huevos rancheros" implying they are Latin. Eva has amazing opportunities to play so many roles though, she's not too limited in her future as an incredible vocalist and performer.

[@ricovega4791]

[@leonieh.8820]

they said gay rights.

[@Thismeekpotato]

That poor pianist thooo having to follow the Vocalists lol. But they did slay

[@thirstfortruth8904]

Pianist doesn’t have to follow them as much as you might think. They may SOUND like they are going seriously free and falling ahead then behind the beat. But they are meticulously sticking to the tempo and are not slowing or speeding that pianist up at all.

[@laurenweise3241]

God can you imagine leaving SHOSHANA FREAKING BEAN speechless with your vocals????

[@JoJo-bm5rx]

Not often you can say ShoBean was out sung...in the best possible way. I'm not a fan of riff off's but this was done so well because Shoshana let Eva shine instead of to much riffing herself. So good.

[@anugrahjn2474]

Dats the point of how best duet works. Shine together by let your partner shine first.

[@georgiairving1234]

This is like if Eva played Persephone in Hadestown

With that high falsetto. Eva killed it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I knew she had a good voice but i wasnt expecting it to be thats high. As always shoshana killed it

+Kevin Machado Hate to rain on your parade, but women can sing in falsetto. It's a common misconception that is only applies to men.

Im only just seeing this now and Happy pride month indeed.

[@ItsMitchGardner]

Eva Noblezada is out of this world.. Like, where did 1:53 come from!? Fantastic stuff.

[@Mindmint93]

Mitch Gardner As you pointed this out I was stunned too when she did that now I'm a little disappointed that at some point of Miss Saigon Recording she didn't reach high notes like in - for a long long while and paper dragons in the sky. I knew it wouldn't happen but I wish they would record again with the high notes

[@martineplc]

Ha! "I need a minute"

[@syworld82]

Give me. A minute.. I gotta get into character.

[@lm-bv1rg]

I think Eva has improved a lot since the Miss Saigon Recording, especially with the high notes.

[@xXJesibugXx]

I know this was posted two years ago, but have you listened to her in hadestown? her voice literally sends chills down my spine

[@Cheskaz]

@@xXJesibugXx I know this was posted 4 years ago, but it's wild to read comments from before Hadestown really blew up

[@Laurenteamec]

Didn't realise Eva was the Maureen I needed to see, incredible.

[@bluelicious123]

Them: Guess I'm leavin, I'm gone! Me: And I'm gay

amazing pianist holding the show on his back

[@ryerye3406]

Eva has grown so much musically.. She can sing and play Lea's roles w/ so much ease and she can sing music that Lea never dared to sing..

After 1:54, I had to pause the video to recover from what just happened. Now, where did my shoes go...

[@herreguda6199]

God, me too!!

[@kdeggraham895]

High falsetto!

[@wave97z]

"i need a second" DHSMFKS mood

[@keriannemusic]

I can't believe she was 19 when this was recorded wow

[@user-tf7zh1nw2z]

My gay is freaking out. I’m obsessed with both of them!!!

[@evenspookier]

the BIGGEST mood :o

[@musicalaudios549]

I felt like this was a big riff off. That's what was good about it.....LOVED IT!!! 💚

[@starlight6196]

I watched Eva Noblezada play Eponine at the Queen's Theatre this June and she was so amazing!!! A Little Fall of Rain made me cry so much! And she sounds so amazing in this video too!!!

[@shellieaddison5531]

I feel like Eva would be a perfect Eliza schuyler

[@graceglo6638]

Honestly can she play all three girls at some point 😂😂😂

[@TamannaDas]

I see her as Angelica

[@btsdulcet6899]

Tamanna Das angelica requires a soulful voice that is reminiscent of a gospel singer. i love eva, but her voice suits eliza more so than angelica

[@thekermitkid1992]

Eva needs to be in RENT asap!!! She could defo play Mimi now!!!! =D

[@audreylyncrabano7178]

I love eva! As usual, she kills it on the mic. That sass tho! How old is she again. She acts so mature but she has this innocence in her face, 😍

[@lucywallis400]

Audrey Lyn I believe Eva is only 19, and very talented for someone so young

[@theBestArts]

+Lucy Wallis is correct; Eva turned 19 on March 18, 2015, not long before this performance.

[@lailaallen3601]

+Audrey Lyn Crabaño she actually hasn't changed since she was in high school we both went to NWSA

[@Chebowlier]

At 3:23 shoshana was like "I give up"

[@gachallantthenutjob2052]

It’s like the sun and the moon met to have the sickest duet

[@tevisbryant4840]

This my first time seeing Eva she's a fuckin beasttttttt

[@YYC403NOYP]

Wish she gets the part for the movie version of Miss Saigon.

[@georgie3979]

TWO OF MY IDOLS SINGING TOGETHER IM FUCKING DYING

[@syworld82]

I loved this performance!!!! Shoshana as Joanne is AMAZINGLY NOT Shoshana but it sooo works... and Eva as Maureen is just pure brilliance...

[@stephaniesoto4027]

Eve graduated from my school. 💕

[@TamannaDas]

Your school must be so proud of her :')

Better than rent live
