Jamie Lloyd’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita, which ran at the London Palladium from June-September 2025, will to transfer to Broadway in spring 2027 at a theater to be announced.

Rachel Zegler once again stars in the title role, for which she earned an Olivier Award and a WhatsOnStage Award. She made her West End debut in the production, and returns to Broadway following her run in Romeo and Juliet at the Circle in the Square.

One of the West End production’s central staging elements saw Zegler sing “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” live from the Palladium’s exterior balcony to crowds gathered in the street below. In the transfer announcement, Lloyd has confirmed that he will reconfigure the moment for the Broadway run, which will not feature Zegler performing the number in public.

Further casting, dates, and additional information will be announced at a later date.
