BroadwayWorld previously reported<\/a> that\u00a0Jamie Lloyd\u2019s reimagined revival of Evita, which played in the West End summer 2025, is eyeing a potential Broadway transfer in 2027. Rachel Zegler has commented to Deadline<\/a> on the possibility of the famous outdoor balcony scene being recreated for Broadway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The London production included a scene where the number “Don\u2019t Cry for Me Argentina” was performed on the exterior balcony of the London Palladium on Argyll Street, and was broadcast to the theatre audience. Large crowds would gather on the street to watch this balcony scene. Andrew Lloyd Webber previously stated that recreating the scene in New York would likely not be doable: “We have gun laws in London.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the subject of the balcony scene, Zegler shared that she is waiting to see if Evita will transfer, and then she’ll \u201csee what happens then.\u201d<\/p>\n
