This incident is just one facet of the ongoing challenges Zegler faces while performing in Evita
. The production itself has sparked controversy, particularly regarding an outdoor balcony performance of the iconic song ‘Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina’. While many fans gathered eagerly outside the London Palladium to witness this unique staging, the intense heat led to several audience members falling ill, with one requiring hospital treatment,
. The situation highlighted the difficulties of crowd control and the physical toll on fans, adding another layer of complexity to Zegler’s West End debut.
Despite the vitriol aimed at her crowning and using her reign to up heave race and tradition-rooted interpretations of a particularly ‘white’ Disney princess, Zegler wears her optimism like an armor on a battlefield.
The drawbacks of being a princess in a public with peeves
One of the most historic events of 21st-century cinema after Barbenheimer might be Rachel Zegler’s Snow White
remake stumbling into the storm of critical fury and disdain. From the moment she was cast, whispers grew into roars—racist backlash, accusations of disrespect toward the beloved original, and a political firestorm ignited by her outspoken views
. The film, burdened by these dark clouds, floundered at the box office and was mercilessly panned on IMDb
and Rotten Tomatoes alike. What was meant to be a magical revival instead became a cautionary tale of how controversy can poison even the most enchanted stories.
