History

Historical Context

Building on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1978 London debut of Evita— which ran 3,176 performances at the Prince Edward Theatre— the 2025 West End revival opened at the London Palladium on 1 July under Jamie Lloyd, starring Rachel Zegler. Its balcony spectacle and mixed reviews echo the show’s long-standing appeal, while tax-credit uncertainties keep a Broadway transfer in doubt.
