Rachel Zegler, Aaron Sorkin, Bradley Whitford and Diego Rodriguez will speak at Variety's annual Business of Broadway Breakfast, presented by City National Bank, on Oct. 5 in New York City. Actor Tom Felton, now reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" series, will host.

Zegler and Rodriguez will be joined by co-star James Olvas for a keynote conversation about the upcoming production of "Evita," set to hit the stage in early 2027. The musical tells the story of Eva Perón, played by Zegler, and her rise from poverty to become one of the most influential women in Latin America.

A second keynote will focus on the stage revival of Aaron Sorkin's 1992 film "A Few Good Men." Sorkin and Bradley Whitford will be joined by Tom Blyth, actor and singer Krysta Rodriguez and six-time Tony Award-winning director Michael Arden. The production opens Oct. 8 at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater in New York City.

The day's final keynote turns to "Dolly: A True Original Musical," which opens at the St. James Theater on Jan. 19 — what would have been Dolly Parton's 81st birthday. Producer Adam Speers, director Bartlett Sherr and the cast will discuss bringing Dolly Parton and Maria S. Schlatter's book to life, following Dolly from Tennessee to the bright lights of Hollywood.

The Producers Panel will feature Amanda Lipitz ("Galileo"), Haley Swindal ("Damn Yankees"), Susan Kelechi Watson ("School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play") and Brian Lee ("Awake and Sing!" and "Here There Are Bluements"). Erik Piecuch, senior VP and team leader of entertainment & sports banking at City National Bank, will moderate.

Variety will also spotlight the individuals profiled in its 10 Broadway to Watch list, published Sept. 30 and presented by City National Bank.

"City National Bank is proud to bring together Broadway's best and brightest to discuss the forces shaping theater today," said JaHan Wang, head of Entertainment & Sports Banking. "As the leading bank to Broadway, we look forward to helping the community flourish for years to come."

Variety's publisher and co-president Dea Lawrence framed the event within the publication's long history of theater coverage. "Theater coverage has been at the heart of Variety since its founding more than 120 years ago, and we are deeply honored to carry that legacy forward," Lawrence said. "Each year, we are proud to bring the industry together with City National Bank to celebrate the enduring vitality of Broadway and look ahead to the stories, productions, and voices that will shape the season to come."

Conversations from the event will be posted on Variety.com and across Variety's social media accounts after the event.
