Digital release plans for Rachel Zegler’s “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” revealed – including bonus track

Digital release plans have been revealed for Rachel Zegler’s performance of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”.

The famed track is taken from Jamie Lloyd‘s critically-lauded revival of Evita, which celebrated its official opening last week.

The track was released last week on vinyl, and will be available on all streaming platforms on Friday, 11 July. In addition, a “balcony version’, taken from Zegler’s famous outdoor performance, will also be available to stream.

A host of VIPs – from Pedro Pascal to Keanu Reeves – flocked to The London Palladium to experience the new production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice classic last week, and WhatsOnStage was on hand to capture all the highlights.

After the curtain call, we caught up with Zegler, castmates Diego Andres Rodriguez (who plays Che), James Olivas (Juan Perón) and Aaron Lee Lambert (Agustín Magaldi), as well as Lloyd, choreographer Fabian Aloise, Lloyd Webber, Rice and producer Michael Harrison, to get their thoughts on the show that “gleams with diamond-sharp brilliance”, as described in our five-star review.

The London cast also includes Bella Brown (as The Mistress/Alternate Eva), Carl Au, Gabriela Benedetti, Shakara Brown, Damian Buhagiar, Kyeirah D’Marni, Sally Frith, DeAngelo Jones, Lucas Koch, Natasha Leaver, Michael Lin, Dianté Lodge, Louis Mackrodt, Mireia Mambo, Mia Mullarkey, Perry O’Dea, Alysha Sontae, Monica Swayne, Jon Tsouras and Harrison Wilde, with Myla Carmen, Barney Hudson, Nathan Louis-Fernand, Kirsty Anne Shaw, Ricardo Spriggs and Regan Bailey Walker as Swings.
