Diego Rodriguez and James Olivas Will Again Co-Star With Rachel Zegler in Evita on Broadway

Key Points:

• Rachel Zegler will reprise her Olivier-winning role as Eva Perón in the upcoming Broadway revival of Evita, which begins performances on February 27, 2027, at the Winter Garden Theatre, with a March 25 opening.
• Jamie Lloyd, known for his Tony-winning revival of Sunset Boulevard, is directing the production, which will feature several of Zegler’s West End co-stars, including Diego Rodriguez as Che, James Olivas as Juan Perón, and Bella Brown as The Mistress and alternate Eva.
• The Broadway transfer will introduce new cast members such as Ángel Lozada as Agustín Migaldi, with swings and ensemble members rounding out the company; further casting and the full creative team will be announced later.
• The production will not replicate the iconic outdoor balcony performance of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from the West End due to safety concerns and New York’s stricter gun laws, as explained by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
• Evita, originally a 1976 concept album and staged by Hal Prince in its first London and Broadway runs, features classic songs by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, with this revival produced by The Jamie Lloyd Company and Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals.
