About the Production

Reimagined by Lloyd, Evita traces the rise and fall of Eva Perón—her journey from poverty to power as the spiritual leader of Argentina. The iconic score includes classics such as “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” and the Oscar-winning “You Must Love Me.”

This revival marks Lloyd’s return to Evita following his acclaimed 2019 Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production. The London Palladium run is presented by arrangement with The Really Useful Group, with 5,000 tickets available at £25 for under-30s, key workers, and recipients of government benefits, offered across all seating levels.
