Evita
Rachel Zegler and Jamie Lloyd team up: book Evita musical tickets
After wowing Regent’s Park audiences with an earlier version, Jamie Lloyd brings his radical reinvention of the classic Evita musical to the London Palladium for a limited summer season. This gritty, galvanising revival stars Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) in her hotly anticipated West End debut as the iconic Eva Perón.
Argentina is on the brink of revolution, and a young woman from the provinces is about to become its most powerful leading lady. Ambitious and controversial, Eva Perón rises from poverty to become the First Lady of Argentina, adored by the people and despised by the elite. Evita charts her meteoric rise and spectacular fall.
Featuring some of musical theatre’s most powerful songs including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Buenos Aires,” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall”, Evita is a sweeping epic about politics, power, and the woman who transformed a nation.
This new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s masterpiece is directed by Jamie Lloyd, whose work on Cyrano de Bergerac, The Seagull, Much Ado About Nothing and Sunset Boulevard has redefined how classic works are performed on stage. His award-winning 2019 revival of Evita was a stripped-back revelation that resonated with modern audiences.
The Evita musical cast is led by Rachel Zegler, bringing vocal brilliance and emotional depth to a role that demands both. She has starred in Hollywood films including West Side Story, Snow White and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Further casting includes Diego Andres Rodriguez (Sunset Boulevard on Broadway) in his West End debut as Che and James Olivas as Juan Peron. With pulsating choreography and exhilarating performances, this Evita promises raw energy, bold vision and an electric theatre experience from start to end.
Evita at the London Palladium is one of 2025’s most anticipated theatrical events. Book now to see Rachel Zegler take centre stage in this revolutionary revival.
