Rachel Zegler

Rachel Zegler is a singer and actress with a warm, expressive voice and an operatic range that catapulted her into lead roles in Hollywood and on Broadway straight out of high school. Best known for playing Maria in Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the classic musical West Side Story, Zegler was only 16 when she responded to the open casting call, leading to her first film role and a 2022 Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy. She sang on-screen again in 2023's The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes a year before making her Broadway debut in 2024's Romeo + Juliet (featuring music composed by Jack Antonoff). A solo ballad from the show performed by Zegler in the style of contemporary R&B-pop, "Man of the House" appeared as a single in conjunction with its premiere.
