Evita

The sell-out production of Evita transfers from the Open Air Theatre in Regent's park to the Barbican for 8 weeks from 27 June 2020.

From a life of poverty to spiritual leader of the nation, Eva Perón was loved, hated, derided and venerated. Dividing the Argentinian people with her patriotic speeches, her ambition, glamour and magnetism established ‘Evita’ as the world’s first major political celebrity.
