Diego Rodriguez and James Olivas will star alongside Rachel Zegler in “Evita,” which opens on Broadway next spring.

Rodriguez and Olivas are reprising their roles as Che and Juan Perón, respectively, from last summer’s acclaimed West End production. As previously announced, Zegler is reprising her Olivier Award-winning role as Argentinian first lady Eva Perón.

Director Jamie Lloyd’s revival of the hit rock opera musical, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, was a massive hit last year in London. The musical follows the rags-to-riches story of Perón and features songs like “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” “Oh What A Circus” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”
