What do singer Nicki Minaj and star of the upcoming EVITA revival, Ricky Martin, have in common? Besides their chart-topping music, the two will also become the faces of Mac Cosmetic's Viva Glam line.

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper currently represent the brand but in February 2012 Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj will take over, according to My Daily.

That same month, Martin begins rehearsals for EVITA, which will begin performances in March.

As previously reported, producers Hal Luftig and Scott Sanders will produce a revival of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's landmark musical EVITA, opening on Broadway in the April 2012 at a Nederlander Theatre to be announced.

The production will star world renowned music artist Ricky Martin as Ché and, making her Broadway debut, Olivier Award Winning Argentinean actress Elena Roger as Evita, reprising her celebrated performance from the 2006 critically acclaimed production in London's West End. Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage and Tony Award winner Rob Ashford will also return to direct and choreograph, respectively. This is the first new Broadway production of the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical since it debuted on Broadway more than 30 years ago.

EVITA tells Eva's passionate and tragic story through Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling and beloved score, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying Adored," together with "You Must Love Me," the Oscar-winning hit from the film EVITA.
