Evita

Welcome home to Evita, the Lloyd-Webber and Rice musical whose iconic lyrics and lovely tunes will be thrilling audiences in the capital all over again, this time in collaboration with Jamie Lloyd, who in 2019 directed an award-winning outdoor production of the musical staged at the Regent Park Open Air Theatre. We're expecting a fresh new version of the classic musical that reveals the life and times of Eva Perón, who rose from obscurity to become the most powerful woman in Latin America in her role as the second wife of Argentinian president Juan Perón.

Evita's ambition, charisma and tragic early death turned her into a legend, a beloved cultural icon whose legacy remains to this day. Jamie Lloyd’s visionary direction is set to breathe exciting new life into a story that never grows old. Don’t Cry for Me Argentina, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, the Oscar-winning You Must Love Me and Oh What A Circus, are just a few of the show tunes you'll probably recognise. The musical actually began life as a rock opera concept album in 1976, scored a huge critical hit when it was first staged in 1978, was made into a five-Academy-Award-winning movie starring Madonna in 1996, and is still regarded as one of Webber and Rice's best collaborations.

Amazing
The whole cast were phenomenal. Can’t believe the stamina of the dancers, lead characters and the choreography. It was one of the best shows we have had the pleasure of watching.

ooh Evita just got sexy....
A very well deserved standing ovation was given to the cast and musicians last night. Really gd 1st half but let down a bit with the outside performance that shud really have been inside in my view. Similar to sunset boulevard the hallway filming added to the performance but think the paying audience shud feels the balcony section more directly.But definitely worth a 2nd watch. The performance was that gd!

A fantastic rock show.....
I really enjoyed the show but I knew the story......my friend however did not know the story so therefore as it was very loud she felt it drowned out the story....... but maybe that was the idea as it felt like a rock show ...We thought the cast was phenomenal, dancing was amazing and we enjoyed that it was stripped back with no props etc. Great night out....
Bernadette, 29 Aug 2025
Magnificent and moving
Such a powerful performance. The best show we have ever been to. Not to be missed!
Sheena, 29 Aug 2025
Excellent!
Bella Brown was absolutely fantastic ! They all superb , highly recommended
rahsan, 26 Aug 2025
Best ever
Not just the Rachel Zegler show, the whole cast where 10/10 fantastic. Rachel was born to play Eva Peron - best show on west end at the moment. Must see!! I’ve been twice and watched her from the balcony. Spellbinding.
Karyn, 23 Aug 2025
Incredible!
The music, the cast, the interpretation of the story was exquisite. And Rachel Zegler was radiant. I recommend! The only issue was that the theatre was very hot. It would be nice to have some fans or A/C.

Evita main cast awesome
One of the best musicals I have ever seen Fully recommend to every who loves high energy and excellent voices
Hope, 17 Aug 2025
Blown away
I was familiar with the story of Evita and the Andrew Lloyd Webber music. However this production transcends all that has gone before. The set was simple but highly effective. The use of lighting and video created depth and a sense of glamour. The soloists and ensemble were truly outstanding - musically superb and acting that conveyed emotion, exhilaration and agony. Can't recommend highly enough.
Mark, 15 Aug 2025
Applause for the men and the chorus
Disappointed we did not see Don’t cry for me Argentina live. Male leads & chorus exceptional Female lead too young for the role
Mary, 14 Aug 2025
Amazing Zegler!
Rachel Zegler was exceptional. The show was really a platform for a superstar!
Katherine, 14 Aug 2025

Suzanne, 14 Aug 2025
Spectacular!
Fantastic show. Have seen Evita many times but this was very different - in a good way! Felt very fresh & up to date. Cast & musicians were amazing. A real must see!
Julie, 12 Aug 2025
Outstanding Performance
The choreography and singing was second to none, just loved it well done.
Diane, 12 Aug 2025
Disappointed with the costumes and staging
I didn’t understand why a drama set in the late 1940s and early 1950s will be performed in leather shorts and bikini tops, certainly didn’t add to the experience. Similarly, some of the songs performed in a rap style distracted from the story.
Kathleen, 10 Aug 2025
Unexpected
I saw the original Evita as a teenager and I went to see this version to bring back memories. Instead I thoroughly enjoy the new adaption. It was an absolute joy to watch.
Janice, 08 Aug 2025
Fabulous
The stars shone tonight, Rachel Zegler was amazing,loved her performance James Olivas and Diego Andres Rodriguez were outstanding and the rest of the cast brilliant. singing, dancing and storytelling constantly very uplifting, a must see. Only negative would’ve loved to see the balcony scene in the flesh, felt I missed out
Gladys, 07 Aug 2025
A must see
Fantastic artists and a great adaptation of Lloyd-Webber’s classic musical.
David, 07 Aug 2025

Best musical experience ever
mike, 07 Aug 2025
Stunning
Having see the original Evita several times, we were wary of the new version to start with. But the staging worked very well and the cast were excellent - so.much energy! It's a must see.

My favourite musical, so enjoying the music was never in doubt. But we loved the staging and the fresh feel, and Rachel was excellent!

Jan, 31 Jul 2025
Best ever
A fabulous show in every way.
Erica, 31 Jul 2025
Do not miss this!!
I was immediately drawn into this show from beginning to end. These amazing actors gave it their all and being in the 11th row, I was witness to watching every move and their incredible performances. Being from Texas, I was so proud to see my main male actors also from Texas. I have no words for Miss Zegler. She is the new Kristen Chenoweth and we will be seeing much more from her. BRAVÍSIMO
Gabriel, 30 Jul 2025
Fabulous
Absolutely brilliant
Sebastian, 27 Jul 2025
Excellent Show
Having seen the original Evita several times, we were a little dubious of this new version but really enjoyed it and thought the cast were great. We found the costumes s little strange particularly for Evita in the second half.
Jean, 27 Jul 2025
Amazing performance!
What a great show; powerful voices, amazing dancers, the lighting was fabulous. We were in the back row of the stalls and had a great view.
ELIZABETH, 24 Jul 2025
Powerful
Rachel Zegler outstanding Great music / orchestra Excellent dancers / singers but too many dance sequences which made understanding/ following the story thread difficult. Balcony sequence- outstanding!
Michael, 22 Jul 2025
Excellent Show
I am an avid musicals attendee and I loved Evita. The way that Eva Peron sings the title song to her audience was beautifully done. The story was good but a little obscure at times. The music was excellent but could have included some more memorable songs. All in all this is an excellent show.
Isabella, 22 Jul 2025
Brilliant
Brilliant music, cast and Choreography
Paul, 19 Jul 2025
Must see show
Everything about the show was excellent
Robert, 18 Jul 2025
Best show EVER !!!!!!
I was absolutely blown away, I cried I laughed I had goosebumps on goosebumps. It was stunning the acting was so good and Rachel and Diego’s voices were effortlessly stunning. I’m booking again x
Lee, 18 Jul 2025
Innovative and moving
Loved the balcony scene as it was filmed to the audience inside the theatre and performed to the crowd outside the theatre.
Jane, 17 Jul 2025
Fabulous show
The new Evita is a fabulous show. Its leading lady is a pocket rocket with a wonderful voice. Having seen the original with Elaine Page, David Essex and Joss Auckland, this latest production more than lives up to its predecessor’s reputation. Brilliant touch with Evita singing to the gathered crowd outside the Theatre. In summary, a fabulous show that should appeal to anyone.
David, 16 Jul 2025
Fabulous
Show was amazing! However!!! I’m awaiting response regarding my ticket pricing . I believe I overpaid .
Tasnim, 16 Jul 2025
Exceptional
It was electrifying, powerful, excellent singing, acting and moving just wonderful.
Maria, 15 Jul 2025
Vibrant
Poor lead singer .. not quite up to the high notes, I’m afraid. Needs a lower, stronger voice. Did not like the first half at all .. although very loud and bright it was dark and disturbing. Prefer the original version. Second half much better.
colleen, 15 Jul 2025
Evita is awesome!! Rachel is sooo talented!!
Loved, loved this show!! So wonderful to see Rachel doing so well. I liked the fresh direction in this depiction of the musical. Absolutely unreal to hear the amazing singing from this cast. Don’t miss this - book a spot today!!
Stephanie, 09 Jul 2025
Absolutely incredible
Amazing show. Entire cast were incredible, very watchable Music was awesome, loud too. Not totally convinced about the but where Evita goes outside the theatre to sing to the masses (that didn't pay) whilst us that forked out 200 quid a ticket just get to see her on a screen. I can see why it's been done, but I fear it may be the director being too clever for his own good That small critique aside it was amazing and well recommend
Paul, 06 Jul 2025
Powerful
Very good show although would recommend you know the story before going! Some of the lyrics were not clear and difficult to follow.
Morag, 05 Jul 2025
Fabulous
Don't miss this fabulous show
Michael, 05 Jul 2025
Amazing
Absolutely brilliant Loved every minute of it
Nicola, 01 Jul 2025
Excellent evening, superb entertainment.
Best show I have seen for years and I am a big Les Mis fan!! So exciting, so much energy. Three leading artists were each stars in their own right. The balcony scene (inside and out) was unbelievable, beautifully done and emotional. Thank you for the entertainment.
Anne, 30 Jun 2025
Great performance of 'Che'!
A most enjoyable evening at the theatre - particularly found the singing and performance of 'Che' - Diego Rodrigo Diez - truly amazing! However, disappointed to see that there was no infomation at all about him in the programme (except for his name). Did not like the part of the play where it was just showing film of singing in the background - should have been live instead.
Janis, 30 Jun 2025
Amazing singing!
I thought the show would have been a lot more colourful as the whole cast only wore grey and black with a few of them wearing gold in a couple of scenes. There was no colourful scenery, (a bit drab) but the singing was fantastic. I expected Evita to be dressed more elegantly and grandly colourful ( disappointment!) for me. The story line is not that easy to follow even if you know the whole history of Evita as there was very little acting involved and not very accurate.
Lorraine, 27 Jun 2025
Spectacular production
Would advise anyone to just re-visit the story of Eva Peron as this production, whilst spectacular, does not have any dialogue. The staging, production, music, cast however are amazing & the whole show is totally breathtaking.
Heather, 27 Jun 2025
Good dancing. Lacked colour. Minimal set
I enjoyed the show, and at some points when the whole company was singing, the hairs on my arms stood up! Great dance moves! VERY LOUD! If you like a lavish set, then you will be disappointed though. Costumes minimalist and dull. Disappointed that there was no marching by the military as was in the original staging of the show. A note about the theatre: at least in the stalls area there was a good provision of ladies toilets, so we didn't end up queueing for the whole interval. We were told that no tea or coffee available in the theatre bar. Had to bring one from outside.
Julia, 27 Jun 2025
Perfect, exceeded my expectations.
Riveting, exceptional performance
Lillian, 26 Jun 2025

Sterling performance by the leading lass!
Evita (Rachel Ziegler) was non-stop throughout - incredible vocals, incredible dancing and marvellous acting. The whole cast were great. I do wish there was more dialogue - but I would go see it again!

Exceptional
Evita is musical theatre at its finest. Every change from the original production enhances the show. I don’t know how I am going to follow this !
Anthony, 16 Jun 2025
