Jamie Lloyd’s much-anticipated new production of EVITA starts performances tonight, Saturday 14 June 2025, at the London Palladium starring Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler.
Evita is playing a summer season at the London Palladium, until 6 September 2025.
Based on real events, Evita is the story of Eva Perón, who, fuelled by ambition and passion, rose from poverty to become Argentina’s First Lady and the most powerful woman in Latin America. A symbol of hope to many Argentines, her star shone brightly as she captured the nation’s heart and divided its soul.
An iconic score, featuring music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, boasts musical theatre classics including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Oh What A Circus, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, and the Oscar-winning You Must Love Me.
The show stars Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler (West Side Story, Snow White) as Eva Perón, and Diego Andres Rodriguez (Sunset Boulevard), who will make his West End debut as Che, with James Olivas (American Idiot) as Juan Perón, Aaron Lee Lambert (Hamilton) as AgustÃn Magaldi and Bella Brown (Hadestown) as The Mistress / Alternate Eva.
