It has been announced that Diego Andres Rodriguez will star as Che, alongside the previously announced Rachel Zegler as Eva Perón, in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, which runs at the London Palladium from 14 June-6 September.
Director Jamie Lloyd said: “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.”
Diego Andres Rodriguez said: “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!”
Full cast and creatives are to be announced.
