Fresh off her triumphant flip in London as Eva Perón, Rachel Zegler is taking her Argentine first girl to Broadway.
The revival — directed by Jamie Lloyd — will play at a Shubert theater to be introduced within the spring of 2027, producers stated. The musical is concerning the caustic intersection of politics and showbiz.
“Performing Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant show in London was a dream come true, but being able to partner once again with Jamie to bring ‘Evita’ to Broadway is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Zegler stated in an announcement. “I can’t wait to perform for my home, New York City.”
Zegler gained the Olivier Award as greatest actress in a musical earlier this month. She acquired a number of consideration for performing the track “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina” on an exterior balcony, attracting massive crowds to the road each night time whereas theatergoers inside watched on screens. Lloyd did one thing related together with his revival of “Sunset Boulevard” — inserting the actor Tom Francis outdoors the theater every night time.
“Evita” started as a rock opera idea album and transferred to Broadway in 1979, starring Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin. It was revived in 2012 starring Elena Roger and Ricky Martin, nominated for a greatest revival Tony.
