Zegler parlayed the critical success of “West Side Story” into leading roles in the “Hunger Games” prequel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” in which she again flexed her vocal chops as impoverished tribute Lucy Gray Baird, as well as Disney’s “Snow White” remake with Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, which opens on March 21.

Zegler, 23, will follow in the footsteps of Elaine Paige and Patti LuPone, who played Eva Perón in the original West End and Broadway productions, respectively.

Actress and singer Rachel Zegler is to star in Sir Tim Rice and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita at the London Palladium. The 23-year-old will play the role of Eva Peron when the Jamie Lloyd-directed production, which follows the story of Peron as she rises from poverty to become the most powerful woman in Latin America, opens on July 1.

"West Side Story" actress Rachel Zegler is set to take the West End stage in "Evita," which plays at the London Palladium beginning June 14.
