Jamie Lloyd’s acclaimed production of Evita, starring Rachel Zegler, is transferring to Broadway following its limited West End run. The show’s New York engagement, set for early 2027, will see Zegler reprise her role as Eva Perón at the Winter Garden Theatre.

Jamie Lloyd’s staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita, which played at the London Palladium from June to September 2025, is confirmed for a Broadway transfer. Rachel Zegler, who made her West End debut in this limited 12-week season, will return to star in the title role. The production will begin previews at the Winter Garden Theatre on 27 February 2027, with an official opening night on 25 March 2027.

A notable feature of the London run was Zegler’s live balcony performance of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” to crowds outside the Palladium. However, this staging element is not expected to be reproduced for the Broadway version, with details of the new presentation yet to be announced.

Evita’s last Broadway production was in 2012, featuring Elena Roger and Ricky Martin, and a 2019 concert staging at New York City Center directed by Sammi Cannold did not lead to a full revival. The London production has already released a ten-track cast recording, with a full live album anticipated in August.

Tickets for the Broadway transfer will be available to the public from 1 June 2026, with various pre-sales beginning immediately. The production is a collaboration between Jamie Lloyd Company and Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals, produced by Lloyd and Michael Harrison in association with LW Entertainment.

Zegler is scheduled to miss certain performances during the Broadway run, including several specific dates in April, May, June, August, and October 2027. From 6 July 2027 onwards, she will not perform on most Tuesdays, with some holiday exceptions.

The transfer of Evita to Broadway continues the recent trend of West End successes moving to New York, highlighting the enduring appeal of Lloyd Webber and Rice’s work in global musical theatre markets.
