Breaking Baz: Red-Hot Rachel Zegler Soars In ‘Evita’ London Palladium Previews, Heating Up The Box Office As Chatter Turns To 2027 Broadway Transfer
The Rachel Zegler-led 'Evita' is a smash hit in London, and now the production is eyeing a possible Broadway transfer in 2027, Deadline's Baz Bamigboye writes.
EXCLUSIVE: Rachel Zegler( West Side Story) is a sensation as her voice soars through the London Palladium ’s auditorium — and beyond — portraying Eva Perón in Evita, the classic Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd-Webber show directed by Jamie Lloyd. Also,Zegler, all 5-foot-2 of her, is the biggest star in town, with punters adding $200,000 and more to the box office daily since previews began a week ago, bringing the total advance, as of late Friday afternoon UK time, to in excess of $9 million for a 12-week summer run. Next year’s out, they cry, because Rice wants to concentrate on the forthcoming Broadway run of Chess, his musical with ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, starring Aaron Tveit, Lea Michele and Nicholas Christopher.
