Don't cry for Disney's woke Snow White - she's a sensation as Eva Peron in this unlikely Evita revival: JAN MOIR


Perhaps Rachel Zegler hopes that her luminous Evita can eradicate the debacle that surrounded her recent role in Disney's calamitous woke remake of the cartoon classic, Snow White.

The show opened with the 24-year-old star striding across the stage in bra, boots and hot pants, then ended with her in diamonds and a blonde Evita wig, sinking into a tulle ballgown to take her bows as the audience went wild. An overwhelmed Zegler looked close to tears at the standing ovation and cheers that roared around the Palladium, but permitted herself a tiny moment of personal triumph when she raised her arms and clenched her fists in victory. That’s perfectly fine and she is entitled to her opinions, but when Disney cast her as Snow White it didn’t expect a leading lady who would rant on about how the original cartoon was an outdated exercise in misogyny and sexual oppression.
