Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler will star in the new revival of EVITA at The London Palladium, marking her UK stage debut. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning EVITA returns to the London Palladium, reimagined by the visionary award-winning director Jamie Lloyd. Featuring 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 is produced by Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals and The Jamie Lloyd Company. Jamie Lloyd will direct the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. It will run from 14 June to 6 September 2025, with a press night set for 27 June. Lloyd previously directed an award-winning outdoor version of the musical in 2019 at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, with this production labelled “an evolution” of that show. Zegler, who made her Broadway debut in Romeo and Juliet, will take on the role of Eva Perón in the production. She commented: “Evita has been such an important musical to me since I was a little girl, when my dad and I would sing ‘Don’t Cry for Me Argentina’ together on my back patio. The opportunity to bring Jamie Lloyd’s singular, visionary ideas to life onstage is an honour unlike any other. The stage has always felt like home to me, and I can’t wait to make my West End debut in such great company.” Lloyd added: “I am so excited to be collaborating with the brilliant Rachel Zegler on Evita. She is a phenomenal talent, and I am delighted she will be making her West End debut as the iconic Eva Perón.” Please be advised that Rachel Zegler will not play the role of Eva Peron at the following performances: Monday 14th July 2025 Monday 28th July 2025 Monday 11th August 2025 Monday 25th August 2025 What is Evita about Fuelled by ambition and passion, Eva Perón rose from poverty to become the most powerful woman in Latin America.
