Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals and Jamie Lloyd for The Jamie Lloyd Company have announced that Diego Andres Rodriguez will play Che in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita. He joins the previously announced Rachel Zegler, who will star as Eva Perón. The production, directed by Jamie Lloyd, opens at The London Palladium on Tuesday, 1 July, with previews from 14 June, and runs until 6 September 2025.

Jamie Lloyd expressed his excitement, saying, “Before he even graduated, Diego made his professional debut as Artie in our production of Sunset Blvd. on Broadway, in which he also understudied and played the leading role, Joe Gillis. He is an incredible young actor and a fantastic vocalist. We’re so thrilled he will be making his West End debut in Tim and Andrew’s iconic musical.”

Diego Andres Rodriguez shared his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m beyond thrilled to be making my West End debut in Evita this summer at the historic London Palladium! Being directed by Jamie Lloyd again, working with The Jamie Lloyd Company’s incredible team, and playing Che opposite Rachel is an opportunity of a lifetime. This is a dream come true!”

       

For Evita, there will be 5,000 tickets available across the run at £25 exclusively for under 30s, key workers, and those receiving government benefits. These tickets will be available across all levels of the theatre and go on sale at a later date. Further information will be announced.

Evita features lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The production is directed by Jamie Lloyd and will run at The London Palladium from Saturday, 14 June to Saturday, 6 September 2025, with a press night on Tuesday, 1 July at 7.30pm.
