Filipino American performer Ken San Jose will make his Broadway debut in the 2027 revival of\u00a0Evita, joining the ensemble of director Jamie Lloyd\u2019s production starring Rachel Zegler as Eva Per\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Previews begin Feb. 27 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York, with opening night set for March 25, according to the production and the Internet Broadway Database. IBDB identifies the engagement as San Jose\u2019s Broadway debut.<\/p>\n
San Jose is part of the announced ensemble, alongside a principal cast that includes Diego Rodriguez as Che, James Olivas as Juan Per\u00f3n, Bella Brown as The Mistress and alternate Eva Per\u00f3n, and \u00c1ngel Lozada as Agust\u00edn Magaldi.<\/p>\n
The engagement follows San Jose\u2019s return to musical theater in Manila earlier this year, when he played Mark Anthony in Theatre Group Asia\u2019s production of\u00a0A Chorus Line\u00a0at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati.<\/p>\n
San Jose gained wider recognition in the Philippines during the inaugural season of\u00a0World of Dance Philippines\u00a0in 2019, representing the Junior Division and finishing second runner-up, or third overall.<\/p>\n
Zegler is reprising the role she played in the 2025 West End production of\u00a0Evita\u00a0at the London Palladium, a performance that earned her the 2026 Olivier Award for best actress in a musical.<\/p>\n
The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical, first staged on Broadway in 1979, traces Eva Per\u00f3n\u2019s rise to become Argentina\u2019s first lady.
