Joining Olivier Award winner Rachel Zegler as Eva Perón will be her celebrated co-stars from the London production, with Olivier Award nominee Diego Rodriguez reprising the role of Che and James Olivas making his Broadway debut as Juan Perón.
Also transferring from the London production is Bella Brown, who earned a WhatsOnStage Award nomination for her performance as The Mistress. Brown will reprise the role on Broadway and will also serve as the alternate Eva Perón.

Following a sold-out and critically acclaimed run at the London Palladium, Evita will begin preview performances at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre on 27 February 2027, ahead of an opening night on 25 March.
The musical charts the extraordinary rise of Eva Perón from poverty to become one of the most influential figures in Argentina. Featuring a score by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, the show includes classics such as “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “Oh What A Circus”, “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “You Must Love Me”.
The London production was a major awards success, winning two Olivier Awards including Best Actress in a Musical for Rachel Zegler. It also won Best Musical and Best Musical Performance at the London Standard Theatre Awards, alongside five WhatsOnStage Awards including Best Musical Revival.
Further casting, including the role of The Child, and the full Broadway creative team will be announced at a later date.
