ensemble.Settle originated the role of Norma Valverde in Hands on a

Hardbody, a musical which ran briefly on Broadway in , and is based on

the documentary about real people competing to win a new truck. The

TheatreMania reviewer wrote: "Settle, as Norma, steals every scene

she's in. The spectacularly bizarre lead-in to her big number, 'Joy of

the Lord,' is more difficult to pull off than most Shakespearean

monologues, and her solo vocals reveal a soulful, oversized gospel

range that drives the Holy Spirit straight to the back of the theater.

When she tearfully realizes what her faith in God may have wrought, it

stings like a chigger bite. Settle's touching performance should go on

the shortlist for every Best Featured Actress prize in town." For this

role, Settle was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk,

and Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Additionally,

she was awarded the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway or

Off-Broadway debut performance during the - theatrical season.
