Jamie Lloyd’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita, which ran at the London Palladium from June to September 2025, is to transfer to Broadway – and dates and details have been revealed.

Rachel Zegler will be returning in the title role. She made her West End debut in the production, which ran for a 12-week limited season before closing on 6 September 2025.

The show will now run at the Winter Garden Theatre, beginning preview performances beginning on Saturday 27 February 2027 with a Thursday 25 March 2027 opening night.

One of the production’s central staging elements saw Zegler perform “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” live from the Palladium’s exterior balcony to crowds gathered in the street below. Details of how the number will be staged for Broadway have not been confirmed, though this will not be replicated.

Evita last appeared on Broadway in 2012, in a revival starring Elena Roger and Ricky Martin. A concert staging at New York City Center in 2019, directed by Sammi Cannold, did not lead to a full Broadway run.

A ten-track cast recording from the London production is available now. A full live album is also expected in August.

Tickets will go on sale to the public on 1 June 2026, with various pre-sales from today.

It is produced by Jamie Lloyd for the Jamie Lloyd Company and Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals by arrangement with LW Entertainment.

Zegler will not appear at the following performances: Tuesday 13 April 2027, Tuesday 20 April 2027, Tuesday 27 April 2027, Tuesday 11 May 2027, Tuesday 25 May 2027, Wednesday matinee 2 June 2027, Wednesday matinee 9 June 2027, Tuesday 22 June 2027, 9 August through 15 August 2027 and 25 October through 31 October 2027

Starting Tuesday 6 July 2027, through to the end of the year, Zegler will not perform the role on Tuesdays with some holiday exceptions on the weeks of Election Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.
