Breaking Baz: London Palladium Hit ‘Evita’ Could Move Straight To Broadway As Rachel Zegler & Jamie Lloyd Cry: “Don’t Wait For Me Argentina!”


'Evita' at the London Palladium could move to Broadway, according to Rachel Zegler, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jamie Lloyd.

In a previous column, I wasn’t totally sold on the Casa Rosada balcony moment because it was coup de théâtre that only those watching Zegler live outside could fully benefit from, while those of us inside were denied that jolt of connection. Although, I see the Daily Mail drama critic Patrick Marmion describes Olivas’s Perón as a “hunky sexbomb porn star towering over tiny Zegler, with watermelon biceps bulging out of his sleeveless shirt.” It’s being discussed outside of the arts pages – on the radio, the telly, in pubs and on public transport – because a gifted young artist with diamond star quality is performing a half century old classic song from the balcony of a storied show palace.
