Noblezada was nominated as Best Actress in a leading role for the Broadway musical “Hadestown” where she portrayed the role of Eurydice.
“Can’t believe it. Wow. We don’t make art for recognition. We do it because it heals us. And I represent myself, but more so the magical humans I fall in love with every night. Thank you,” Noblezada wrote in a tweet Tuesday night.
