Christina DeCicco, Rachel Potter, Max Von Essen et al. to Join Broadway’s Evita Revival

Additional casting and the complete creative team have been announced for the forthcoming revival of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, which will begin previews at the Marquis Theatre on March 12, 2012 with an opening set for April 5. Michael Grandage will direct, with choreography by Rob Ashford.

Evita tells the story of Argentina’s Eva Peron, who used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. She won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor, while glamour, power and greed made her the world’s first major political celebrity.

As previously reported, the production will star Ricky Martin as Che, Elena Roger as Eva, and Michael Cerveris as Juan Perón. The cast will also feature Max Von Essen as Magaldi, Rachel Potter as Mistress, and Christina DeCicco, who will be the alternate/standby for Eva Peron.

Rounding out the cast are Ashley Amber, George Lee Andrews, Wendi Bergamini, Eric L. Christian, Kristine Covillo, Colin Cunliffe, Margot de La Barre, Bradley Dean, Melanie Field, Jennie Ford, Bahiyah Sayyed Gaines, Constantine Germanacos, Laurel Harris, Nick Kenkel, Brad Little, Erica Mansfield, Emily Mechler, Sydney Morton, Jessica Lea Patty, Aleks Pevec, Kristie Dale Sanders, Timothy Shew, Michaeljon Slinger, Johnny Stellard, Alex Michael Stoll, Daniel Torres and Matt Wall.

The creative team will include scenic and costume designer Christopher Oram, lighting designer Neil Austin, sound designer Mick Potter, wig and hair designer Richard Mawbey, projection designer Zachary Borovay, and music supervisor/director Kristen Blodgette. Orchestrations are by Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Cullen, and dance arrangements are by David Chase.
