Oh what a circus! Today it was announced that Diego Andres Rodriguez who is currently starring as Artie in Sunset Blvd on Broadway will star as Che in Evita this summer at the London Palladium. Directed by Jamie Lloyd, this new production will star Rachel Zegler as Eva Perón. First preview is set for June 14, with an official opening night on July 1. It runs through September 6.
“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,” said Rodriguez.
“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,” said Lloyd.
