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 Express called Evita, “The event of the year. Do not miss it.”
Evita recently 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.
Evita will play the Winter Garden immediately following Lloyd’s critically acclaimed production of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing which will play a strictly limited 10-week engagement at the same legendary venue this fall.
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.”
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. 101 Productions, Ltd. will serve as general managers for the production.
Jamie Lloyd originally directed Evita at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre as part of their 2019 season.
The London cast recording of Evita, featuring Zegler, is now streaming on all platforms and includes her chart-topping version of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” which reached No. 1 on the Official UK Physical Singles Chart on three occasions.
