PEOPLE also caught up with Jordan, 39, and Noblezada, 27, about the show, in an exclusive interview.

Noblezada has two Tony nominations, one for her Broadway debut as Kim in the 2017 revival ofMiss Saigon,and another for 2019’s Tony-winning best musical,Hadestown(which also earned her a Grammy).

She was famously discovered and cast in the West End revival ofMiss Saigonwhile performing as a finalist in the 2013 National High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Both have had success on screen as well. Among other credits, he starred inSupergirlandThe Last Five Yearsopposite Anna Kendrick and she, most recently, was the voice of Sam in the animated feature,Luck.

NOBLEZADA:Doing a new show that’s going full throttle in all its glamour and glory is very exciting to me! This company is also so extraordinary. I’m very grateful to be on this team.

JORDAN:After working on this show, I really don’t see how you can portray these characters without singing! The stakes of these relationships and the layers of emotions they’re concealed beneath all provide a lush landscape to draw from. And musicalizing these kinds of things unlocks a whole new set of tools with which to tell the story. You can get much deeper into the minds and hearts of these characters with song, and there is a whole world of new things to explore there.

PEOPLE: What’s it been like to work with one another?

JORDAN:We are constantly laughing and joking backstage (and maybe sometimes onstage? Sorry!), we really have fun together. As an artist, Eva has the rawest talent I have seen in a long time. Watching her connect to her body and her character through song is really a masterclass in musical theatre performance.

NOBLEZADA:It’s so wonderful to be working with every superstar in this cast! Jeremy is an extraordinary scene partner and I’m glad we all have so much fun offstage as well!

PEOPLE: What was the audience energy like at Paper Mill Playhouse?

JORDAN:It was incredible. They were with us from the moment they stepped into the theatre, if not before. It really makes a big difference when you don’t have to actively win them over, when they show up expecting to love it. The thing I am most proud of, though, is for many of those fans, we far exceeded their already high expectations, which is really something else. Makes you feel like you’re doing something right.

NOBLEZADA:Electric!!! The audiences for this show have brought the party, let me tell you! The world premiere run was a time that I — and I’m sure everyone who was a part of it — will never forget. Now we’re all the more excited to get it in front of Broadway audiences!
