Rachel Zegler IS Eva Peron!!!

I don't know her.

Who is this giant foreheaded bitch, anyway?

Why won’t she go away? No one likes her.

I don't know her apart from her Oscars appearance, but she's a cute girl.

R4 you watched West Side Story ….

Why is Hollywood investing so much money in this unproven, frankly odd-looking, young irritant?

To be fair it’s London investing this time

She’s very Laura Herring in that photo.

Almost too pretty for Perón.

Fine, England can keep her.

She may not be the movie star they’re trying to make happen but she IS a theatre star. Romeo & Juliet was both a commercial and critical smash hit and this will do well too.

They have her in whiteface to promote Snow White 😂

They really are using makeup to whiten her skin to promote the film. Probably to go against the backlash of her not being white enough to be Snow White

It's weird that her flop WSS co-star, Ariana DeBose, was rumored to star in this production for months, and then Zegler is announced as the star. Did Zegler show some interest, so Lloyd dumped DeBose in favor of her? When comparing flops, Zegler is a less bigger flop than DeBose.

I only hired her because she's your friend. I hardly know her.

[quote] Why is Hollywood investing so much money in this unproven, frankly odd-looking, young irritant?

Because the banks demand DEI. Productions must have a certain amount of minorities for investment. It started 5 years ago.

Ziegler has yet to appear in a hit movie. She was in a Hunger Games flick and a Shazam! flick, both of which ( to be fair, through no fault of her own) were unequivocal flops relative to their production and marketing budgets. West Side Story, another notorious flop.

She’s a gen z young woman, so she defines herself by what she scolds about on social media. It can be annoying, although I actually agree with the substance of most of her positions.

Attacking her for that is like pulverizing a specific chicken for having feathers. Look at this BITCH and her fucking feathers! Bro they all got that.

Her big faux pas in my opinion was attacking the original film. It’s a very gen z thing to do, but someone really should have sat her down and read her the riot act before she spoke to the public.

All that said, she’s tiny and gorgeous and most importantly, extremely talented. I give her a pass!

Hunger Games didn’t flop

Will Eva sing Rainbow High wandering the streets captured on camera. And, will she be covered in blood at the end?

R12 which one won an Oscar?

She looks like she's 12. Will anyone buy her in this?

R17 The film made $19.1 million on its first day, $5.75 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to debut to $44 million, topping the box office but marking the lowest start of the franchise.

This will be unsurprisingly bad for her. A rainbow low.

Can she even sing that score?

Is being from New Jersey DEI? Otherwise, fuck offf.

Which is kind of interesting R22, as the biggest film and TV successes of the past five years have been: lily white Oppenheimer, lily white (with a few tokens) Barbie, lily and extremely rich white The White Lotus.

She looks like Michael Jackson.

Did a gay on this thread actually compare Rachel Zegler to prime Laura Elena Harring?

No —her cousin Laura Herring

The original, yes (and found it borrrriiing despite my sister being obsessed with it in high school and kept making me watch it), R5.

The remake, nah. I'm allergic to Steven Spielberg. Plus, if i hated the original, why would I watch a remake?

To see it made worse, of course!

She’s too pretty to portray Evita.

That’s MY role!

R27 The White Lotus doesn’t bring in bigger numbers than Euphoria did bud.

Those films you mentioned were blockbusters with 9 figure budgets….

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Will she demand script changes so that it's Eva not Juan who is elected president, because you know, patriarchy?

R33 - Patti LuPone

Let's just all sit back and wait until she puts her foot in her mouth. Again. She's a publicists worse nightmare.

Ok, another Jamie Lloyd re-thinking of of a good show, on the order of his A Dolls Life and Sunset Boulevard. Good opportunity to hear that good score. The property can take it. Rachel Zegler will get good reviews. The production will too. In time there will e a Broadway transfer.

Are we still pretending that Eva wasn’t an evil corrupt asshole?

Isn’t she a very light soprano? It takes lungs of steel to belt out that score.

R42 you mean like Madonna?

R23 Enjoying your stock market and egg prices, MAGA troll?

I like the score to Evita (having grown up listening to it) so I invite another interpretation. The last one with Ricky Martin and that short lady was pretty bland.

What a must miss!

She is very ugly. And unpleasant. Snow White is about to bomb big time. What are they thinking?

She isn’t ugly. She was radiant in west side story. She’s been crucified for saying the things every single 18-22 year old theater student from her generation would have said. You old anti trans theater queens have to accept that the upcoming generation of theater people is fervently pro DEI and pro trans and Woke as fuck.

She is very ugly. And anyone over 30 finds 18 year-olds and they're asinine social media ranting annoying. Are you Mark, hon? I know she's tweeted you after you worked with her on that FLOP, but stop it.

R48 = Tony Kushner's husband. It's clear as day.

Radiant. LOL. Did the 7 people who saw that piece of shit agree on that?

Oy vey.

She looks 12.

Let me guess. Jaimie Lloyd directing, so no set, just a black stage. No Christian Dior gowns, but some slips they pick up at Primark. And bare feet everywhere. Not a shoe in sight.

Looking like a princess

No journalists allowed on the red carpet for the Snow White premiere.

She wasn’t great in Romeo & Juliet (what an embarrassing production overall though- the nurse gave one of the worst performances of the season), but that thing was a smash hit. Tickets weren’t cheap and that show sold out almost every night.

The critics are calling it a masterpiece!

lol - If people were critical of Madonna not having the voice for Evita in a movie, why do people think that Zeigler has the voice for Evita on stage, show after show, day after day.

She looks like AOC

Rachel can sing….

She is truly ugly. With that chin, Disney should’ve cast her as the witch in Snow White.

Also, she has demonstrated time and time again that she is a stupid cunt.

And just because it will make all the old bitches heads explode I’m going to mention that she looks like a young Jackie Kennedy

Elena Roger, the last to play Eva Peron on Broadway, disappeared after doing the role. Maybe that'll happen to Zegler too.

Has she mentioned what song in the musical offends her and she wont be singing?

R57 I think the success was because of Kit Connor. The weekly grosses didn’t dip any of the times she was out of the show and he was the only one reviewed well. Evita will still sell fine, though.

r65

when did she say this?

Have you ever heard her speak or read her post? The girl lives to be offended and scold.

How does someone with this rare opportunity, given her squat stature and mid looks, squander it with aggressively woke proselytizing?

You don't understand what kind of person she was. Marjorie Taylor Greene could play her easily.

Or Mona Charen

But Ann Coulter couldn't. She could play the Parisian whore who married the dictator of Paraguay, however.

Press for Evita in London, today.

Wow, they’re just not gonna give up with this obnoxious shrew are they?

She’s got the whore part down pat.

Whoever upthread states Arianna DeBose "flopped" , I'm curious to know what you're basing that on?

There are stories all over the interwebs that she's been canned from Evita after some leaked footage.

She looks like a Gargantua:

War of the Gargantuas was the best movie.

A friend of mine and I used to watch all the old Godzilla and such movies. Loved Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot. The tiny twins singing Mothra used to creep me out.

R77 If she was canned she wouldn’t have been on The One Show promoting the show a handful of hours ago.

Can someone explain to me the vogue for sheer dresses with middle-aged bras and undies clearly visible beneath? (See R73's link.) It's everywhere and it's just awful.

Aside from the sheerness detracting from the line of the dress, didn't we learn 40 years ago that lingerie cut high on the thigh made women's legs look longer and a plunging bra made the neck look longer? Have we forgotten that, or is it somehow important to look 45 and frumpy? They all look like Margaret Qualley in The Substance went out wearing Demi's underwear.
