Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney are In The Frame!

Featuring music, lyrics and book by Anaïs Mitchell, the show is directed by Rachel Chavkin and won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. In 2025, Eva, Reeve and original cast members André De Shields, Amber Gray and Patrick Page reunited for a special London season at the Lyric Theatre, with the production filmed live on stage for the cinema.
Hadestown has already been released in cinemas across North America and, later this month, it's released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
Eva's theatre credits include Kim in Miss Saigon (West End & Broadway), Éponine in Les Misérables (West End), Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby (Broadway) and Sally Bowles in Cabaret (West End & Broadway).

In this episode, Eva and Reeve reflect on their journey with Hadestown, returning to Orpheus and Eurydice in London and some of their standout moments from the show. They also reflect on how their first jobs in theatre have gone on to inform their careers and what success means to them now.
Hadestown is in cinemas across the UK and Ireland from Tuesday 13th October.

S11 Ep44: Eve Shanu-Wilson, Blanche in Jane Eyre & Glinda in Wicked
Eve Shanu-Wilson is playing Blanche in the UK premiere of Jane Eyre The Musical at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
Based on Charlotte Brontë's classic novel, Jane Eyre The Musical is by John Caird and Paul Gordon. The musical originally premiered in Toronto before transferring to Broadway in 2000, and is now receiving its UK premiere at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. This new staging is co-directed by John Caird and Megan McGinnis.
Eve was in the West End production of The Phantom of the Opera (His Majesty's Theatre), where she was initially second cover Christine before becoming first cover and subsequently taking over as Alternate Christine. She then starred as Glinda in the international tour of Wicked, which marked the first English-language non-replica production of the musical.
In this episode, Eve discusses joining Jane Eyre The Musical and why she is excited to be part of the production. She takes us behind the scenes of her Wicked journey, including why she almost didn't attend her audition and what it was like performing the show for Stephen Schwartz. Eve also reflects on her time in The Phantom of the Opera, including the challenges she faced while navigating a vocal injury.
Jane Eyre The Musical runs at Southwark Playhouse Elephant until 24th October.
