Video: Meet the cast of EVITA
Jamie Lloyd (Sunset Boulevard, A Doll’s House, The Tempest) originally directed Evita at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre as part of their 2019 season. The Palladium production is billed as “reimagined by the visionary award-winning director Jamie Lloyd”, and will be an evolution from the Regent’s Park show, with lots of new elements.
The production is widely tipped to be transferring to Broadway following its London run this summer.
Jamie Lloyd’s current production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Scherzinger is currently playing on Broadway until 13 July 2025.
Evita is playing at the London Palladium from 14 June to 6 September 2025.
