Rachel Zegler has marked a career resurgence with her role in the West End revival of Evita, following the box office disappointment of Disney's live-action Snow White earlier this year. The 24-year-old actress shared a series of black-and-white photos on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the experience.
Zegler, who won a Golden Globe for her role in West Side Story, described playing Eva Perón in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical as a dream come true. She thanked the 220,000 audience members who attended the 12-week run at the London Palladium, as well as the 130,000 who watched from the balcony each day.
The production, directed by Jamie Lloyd, concluded with a standing ovation that Lloyd Webber called the longest in the venue's history. Zegler also praised the cast and crew, saying the friendships she made will last forever.
Zegler's recent film credits include The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Y2K, and Spellbound. She is currently linked romantically to backing dancer Nathan Louis-Fernand.
