Eva Noblezada Delays Return to Broadway’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ Due to Vocal Injury

Eva Noblezada, the two-time Tony nominee who originated the role of Daisy Buchanan in Broadway’s hit musical “The Great Gatsby,” has postponed her return to the Broadway Theatre. 

She was originally scheduled to step back into the role on February 5 but will now return on March 4 to recover from a vocal injury.

Noblezada announced the delay on social media, sharing, “Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with laryngitis that has worsened and intensified the condition of my soft nodular vocal injuries,” she wrote. 

“My ENT has officially advised me to take a three week medical vocal rest. The truth is that this time to rest and heal is extremely essential for me. Not just for my voice but for my brain and my heart, which have been carrying the heavy burden of an injury for quite some time now,”  Noblezada continued. 

“I cannot wait to reset back into a state of full health, mentally and vocally!”
