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 spring of 2027. Olivier Award winner, London Standard Theatre Award winner, and Golden Globe Award® winner Rachel Zegler will reprise her lauded role as ‘Eva Perón’ at a Shubert theater to be announced.
Evita made international headlines last summer when it played a sold-out engagement at the London Palladium. It was heralded by critics with a staggering number of five-star reviews and was described by The Telegraph as “a total triumph,” The Standard said, “Rachel Zegler is an absolute smash in Jamie Lloyd’s thrilling revival” and The Daily Expresscalled Evita, “The event of the year. Do not miss it.”
The production received two Olivier Awards including Best Actress in a Musical for Zegler. Evita 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.
Fuelled by unrelenting ambition and passion, Eva Perón (Zegler) 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.”
Production dates, additional casting, specific theater, and additional ticketing information for Evita on Broadway will be announced soon.
