Evans made it to New York in 1955 and would become friendly with choreographers Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins. Evans’ first musical as a dancer on Broadway was "New Girl in Town," which starred Gwen Verdon and was choreographed by Fosse. Evans also was cast by Fosse for "Redhead," with Verdon, and the movie of "The Pajama Game." Other highlights were starring on Broadway with Henry Fonda and Margaret Hamilton in a revival of "Our Town" in 1969 and being a standby for Jim Dale in "Barnum" in the early 1980s. He was a chimney sweep when Julie Andrews immortalized "Mary Poppins" on film in 1964.
