Rachel Zegler is bringing her award-winning performance as Eva Perón to Broadway!

On Wednesday, producers announced that Jamie Lloyd's revival production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterwork *Evita* will head to Broadway in the spring of 2027 after its critically acclaimed, sold-out engagement on West End at the London Palladium last summer. Zegler will reprise her Olivier Award-winning performance at a Shubert-owned theater to be announced.

*Evita* on Broadway will be produced by Jamie Lloyd for the Jamie Lloyd Company and Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals by arrangement with LW Entertainment.

Production dates, additional casting, and venue will all be announced soon.

"I am delighted to see Jamie Lloyd's extraordinary production of *Evita* head to Broadway," Webber said in a statement. "It is so exciting to see Tim and my work reimagined in new ways, and the show has a generational talent in Rachel Zegler. I can't wait for American audiences to experience a production which took the West End by storm."

Rice added, "I am thrilled that Broadway audiences will be able to see Jamie Lloyd's bold and inventive version of Evita. Rachel Zegler is a magnetic 'Eva', delivering an electric, charismatic performance."

"I was completely overwhelmed by the incredible response to *Evita* in London," Lloyd shared. "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."

*Evita* made international headlines last summer when it played a sold-out engagement at the London Palladium. Theater critics and casual viewers alike were abuzz over the widely reported scene in which Zegler performed the show's signature song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" on a street-facing outdoor balcony. Webber has said the outdoor scene isn't likely to be reproduced for New York, and Lloyd's comment about "a new idea" seems to confirm that.
