Jamie Lloyd’s Evita With Rachel Zegler Sets Broadway Run for Spring 2027

The creative team will replace the London balcony sequence with a Broadway-specific staging for safety.

Overview

  • Producers announced Wednesday that the revival will open in spring 2027 at a Shubert theater to be named, with dates and full casting still pending.
  • Rachel Zegler will reprise her Olivier Award–winning turn as Eva Perón after leading the sold-out London Palladium run.
  • Director Jamie Lloyd will return and plans a new approach for “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” tailored to New York audiences.
  • Andrew Lloyd Webber said the outdoor balcony setup used in London cannot be repeated in New York because of safety and legal differences.
  • The transfer follows a critically acclaimed, concert-style reimagining produced by The Jamie Lloyd Company and Michael Harrison, with 101 Productions serving as general managers.
