Rachel Zegler will star in the Broadway revival of “Evita” alongside London co-stars Diego Rodriguez and James Olivas. Both performers are reprising their roles from last summer’s acclaimed West End production: Rodriguez as Che and Olivas as Juan Perón. The production also features Zegler reprising her Olivier Award-winning performance as Eva Perón.
Producers Jamie Lloyd and Michael Harrison announce the casting, tying the Broadway revival to the West End staging. Deadline reports the show arrives in New York in February and begins previews at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre on Saturday, February 27, 2027, ahead of its run. Variety frames the update as a continuation of the West End company’s return to Broadway, with Zegler joining the returning leads for the next phase of the production.
Across outlets, the central point is the same: the “Evita” revival on Broadway keeps the principal performers from the London production, with Zegler and the Che and Perón cast reprising their roles for the New York opening.
