Rachel Zegler is currently starring as Eva Perón in a new West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical "Evita" at the London Palladium. As part of the show, Zegler performs the iconic song "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" live from a balcony overlooking the street, a staging choice that has drawn considerable public attention and large crowds gathering outside the theater. The balcony performance has been described as a clever marketing strategy and a reflection of modern theater trends, with audiences and critics praising Zegler's vocal and acting abilities. The production, directed by Jamie Lloyd, officially opened in early July 2025, with Zegler receiving acclaim for her portrayal of the former Argentine first lady. Notable figures such as Andrew Lloyd Webber have lauded her performance, calling it one of the best stage musical numbers seen in recent years. The show has sparked discussions among theatergoers, with some controversy over the unconventional balcony staging. Following the opening, there is speculation that the production could transfer to Broadway. Separately, Zegler has been publicly linked romantically to Nathan Louis-Fernand, a fellow cast member and dancer in "Evita," with the relationship confirmed through social media and public appearances at events such as a Sabrina Carpenter concert in London.
