NEW YORK – Michael Cerveris will be joining Ricky Martin and Elena Roger in the Broadway revival of "Evita."
Producers announced Monday that Cerveris, who won a Tony Award as John Wilkes Booth in "Assassins" and has a recurring role in HBO's "Treme," will play Juan Peron in the musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber when it makes it to The Marquis Theatre in spring 2012.
