Rachel Zegler to Perform 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' on Strictly Come Dancing Oct. 26

The appearance marks her first live UK television performance following her acclaimed Evita run at the London Palladium.

Overview

  • The BBC confirmed Zegler will sing on the Strictly results show for Icons Week on 26 October, joined by two of the programme’s professional dancers.
  • Her performance extends the momentum of her Eva Perón portrayal in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, which drew crowds for balcony renditions and earned a five‑star review in The Independent.
  • Although she has been interviewed on The One Show and is scheduled for The Graham Norton Show on 24 October, this will be her first live musical turn on UK television.
  • The results show will also include a professional group tribute celebrating Britney Spears’ career eras.
  • This Icons Week booking follows guest mentorship by Cynthia Erivo earlier in the series, which returned on 18 October with early eliminations including Thomas Skinner and Ross King.
