Diego Andres Rodriguez will make his West End debut as Che in Evita at the London Palladium. He joins the previously announced Rachel Zegler, who will play the role of Eva Perón.

Diego Andres Rodriguez said today, “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.

Featuring an iconic score including 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina', 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' and the Oscar-winning 'You Must Love Me', Evita centres on the story of the First Lady of Argentina. The musical charts Eva's rise from poverty to political power.

Evita will play at the London Palladium from 14 June - 6 September 2025.
