The actress had to leave the production due to illness and her starring role was taken over by understudy Bella Brown.

Rachel Zegler made an early exit Thursday from a performance of Evita at the London Palladium, because of an illness. Her sudden departure was announced at intermission, according to PEOPLE, who was in the audience. A rep for the Snow White star told Entertainment Weekly that she was still scheduled to perform on Friday night.

Brown wowed audience members after stepping into the role of Eva Perón midway through a performance of "Evita" in London's West End on July 24.
