It has been announced that 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 in Spring 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 theatre to be announced.
Tim Rice said: “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.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “I am delighted to see Jamie Lloyd’s extraordinary production of Evita head to Broadway. 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.”
Jamie Lloyd said: “I was completely overwhelmed by the incredible response to Evita in London. It is an honour 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.”
Rachel Zegler said: “Performing Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant show in London was a dream come true, but being able to partner once again with Jamie to bring Evita to Broadway is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can’t wait to perform for my home, New York City.”
Production dates, additional casting, specific theatre and additional ticketing information will be announced soon.
