Rachel Zegler to Take Her 'Evita' to Broadway in Spring 2027
Rachel Zegler will reprise Eva Perón in a Broadway transfer after the West End revival won an Olivier Award and drew strong reviews.
- Producers announced Wednesday that the London revival of Evita, directed by Jamie Lloyd and starring Rachel Zegler, will transfer to Broadway in spring 2027. Zegler will reprise her role as Eva Peron at a Shubert theater to be announced.
- Premiering at the London Palladium in 2025, the production became a critically acclaimed breakout success. Zegler recently won an Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as the controversial First Lady.
- Though the balcony scene took London by storm, Lloyd confirmed that Zegler's performance of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" will not be replicated in New York due to safety concerns. Lloyd is currently exploring a new idea for Broadway.
- Regarding the venue, producers are currently finalizing a Schubert-owned theater, with speculation pointing toward the Winter Garden following Salesman. Andrew Lloyd Webber said he is "delighted" to see the production head to New York, calling Zegler a "generational talent."
- Cryptic marketing hints, including an Evita Instagram post, preceded the official announcement of the transfer. This marks the second Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Lloyd has revamped for Broadway, following his minimalist approach to Sunset Boulevard.
