Evita description

The truth is, I never left you... and she never really has. Welcome back to Evita, whose iconic lyrics and beautiful show tunes will be delighting audiences in the West End for 2025. Make your way to the London Palladium, the perfect venue for a strictly limited 12 week run of one of the best-loved Lloyd Webber and Rice musicals of all time.

The legendary Evita is back in town

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical is back, a new production that promises to captivate audiences with its timeless story and reimagined staging. It's all down to a new collaboration between Lloyd-Webber and Jamie Lloyd, who in 2019 directed an award-winning outdoor production of the musical staged at the Regent Park Open Air Theatre.

The musical began life as a rock opera concept album in 1976, then opened in the West End two years later to great critical acclaim. Runs at Los Angeles and San Francisco then a premiere on Broadway sealed its reputation. In 1980 it won seven Tony Awards including Best Book, Best Score and Best Musical of the year. 1981 saw the cast recording awarded a Grammy, and the show was made into a five-Academy-Award-winning movie starring Madonna in 1996.

The plot of Evita

This fresh new version of the classic musical once more romanticises the unforgettable tale 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 created her reputation as a beloved cultural icon whose legacy is still felt today. Jamie Lloyd’s thrilling, visionary direction is set to breathe exciting new life into a story that never grows old.
