American actress and singer Noblezada's name is set to be on the lips of every theatre critic next year when she makes her professional debut in the titular role of Cameron Mackintosh's new and eagerly anticipated production of Miss Saigon.

Noblezada, 17, who was spotted by casting director Tara Rubin at the National High School Musical Theater Awards in New York and cut her teeth at NorthWest School of the Arts in Charlotte, USA, will perform the role four nights a week while continuing her studies.
