Video: Jamie Lloyd & Rachel Zegler interview

Also, watch an interview with director of Evita, Jamie Lloyd, and its star, Rachel Zegler, in one of Lloyd’s now-famous ‘back of a cab’ interviews.

In the video, Rachel Zegler reveals that Evita is her first musical on stage since starring as Princess Fiona in Shrek The Musical in high school! She reveals that, “there was no world in which I said no” to taking on the part, and that she “practically begged” Jamie Lloyd to cast her.

Jamie Lloyd says about Zegler that, “I don’t think anyone’s ever heard this sung like this. I mean, you sing it just impeccably. It’s incredible. It’s a major achievement. Acting wise and vocally. And you’re an icon as well, to many.”

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s hit musical is the rags to riches story of Argentina’s first lady Eva Perón, and features musical numbers including “You Must Love Me”, “Another Suitcase in Another Hall”, “Oh! What A Circus”, and showstopper “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”.
