"A preview video of the new Broadway musical Evita has been released.  Ricky Martin stars in the ensemble alongside Elena Roger, who plays the historical role of Argentinian First Lady Evita Peron.  The show is a revival of the 1978 Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber production starring theater legends Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin.  In the preview released by The Hollywood Reporter Martin takes on Patinkin&amp;#039;s role as Che, a peasant working in protest of the Argentinian government during the 1950s.  This marks the singer&amp;#039;s first return to Broadway since 1996, when he played Marius in Les Miserables.  The 40-year-old singer rose to fame in the late &amp;#039;90s with his single &amp;#039;Living La Vida Loca&amp;#039;.  He would later come out as gay in 2010, and has since been a vocal activist in the LGBT community.  Martin recently had a short arc on the musical television show Glee, in which he played a Spanish teacher.  Evita, which opened on Thursday, April 5, is currently playing on Broadway.
