Evita to return to London’s West End for limited run
The hit musical will run for 12 weeks at London’s Phoenix Theatre.
Acclaimed theatre show Evita will return to the West End for a limited run to mark the 65th anniversary of the death of Eva Peron.
The hit musical, penned by Lord Lloyd-Webber and Sir Tim Rice, is to be staged by Bill Kenwright from the end of July to mid-October, to coincide with the commemoration of Peron’s death during the same time period in Argentina.
The lead role of Peron will be played by Emma Hatton, who starred as Elphaba in popular West End show Wicked.
The musical first made its West End debut in 1978 and a film version of the show, which starred Madonna and Antonio Banderas, followed in 1996.
