Rachel Zegler has been nominated for an Olivier Award, for her leading role in a production of Evita that saw her sing from the London Palladium’s outdoor balcony.
The US actress appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s musical last year, and made headlines for leaving the stage during each performance to perform Don’t Cry For Me Argentina to the general public.
Other actors nominees at this year’s Oliviers include Cate Blanchett, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hiddleston, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Rosamund Pike and Paapa Essiedu.
Paddington the Musical and a new production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods have the most nominations overall, with 11 each.
