⭐ EVITA – BROADWAY TRANSFER ANNOUNCED – STARRING RACHEL ZEGLER ⭐
The hugely anticipated Broadway transfer of EVITA has been announced.
Tony Award and multiple Olivier Award-winning director/producer Jamie Lloyd’s new production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterwork EVITA will come to Broadway in Spring 2027, it has been confirmed.
Olivier Award, London Standard Theatre Award and Golden Globe Award winner Rachel Zegler will reprise her lauded role as Eva Perón, at a Shubert theater to be announced.
Rachel Zegler commented: “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. I can’t wait to perform for my home, New York City.”
Director Jamie Lloyd commented: “I was completely overwhelmed by the incredible response to EVITA in London. It is an honor to work with Tim and Andrew, and I’m looking forward to revisiting the production with Rachel, whose stellar performance continues to inspire me. When we started discussing a New York production, it became apparent that our Palladium staging of ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ would not be possible. I am really excited to explore a new idea, made especially for Broadway.”
Fuelled by unrelenting ambition and passion, Eva Perón rose from poverty to become the most powerful woman in Latin America. A beacon of hope to some and a threat to others, her star shone brightly as she captured the nation’s heart and divided its soul.
EVITA features an iconic score including “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” “Oh What A Circus,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” and the Oscar-winning “You Must Love Me.”
Earlier this month, EVITA received two Olivier Awards including Best Actress in a Musical for Zegler. The production was also awarded Best Musical and Best Musical Performance for Zegler at the London Standard Theatre Awards, along with receiving five WhatsOnStage Awards including Best Musical Revival and Best Performer in a Musical for Zegler. It was also recently nominated for five Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards.
Production dates, additional casting, specific theater, and additional ticketing information for EVITA on Broadway will be announced soon.
