Eva Peron was South American so get somebody of that origin to play the role..... And Alexander Hamilton was caucasian. You either want diverse casting or you don't. |

I’ve never been to this theatre. Does anyone know what the second tier bit is like because I’m not prepared to pay Band A prices lol

Great view but a little far away from the stage especially at the back. Reflected in the seat prices I suppose.

The sound is brilliant at the top, the view is indeed a bit far back. There are some very good cheaper seats in the front rows way off to the sides at second and third price, so you could be as far forward as K for the cash. The restricted view seats above the entrance doors, some also swear by. If you are taller and willing to chance a rail through the view, it's a fourth price seat on row O.
Thanks. I'm baulking a bit at a show I've seen so many times before, and my friend won't pay top dollar.

The artwork suggests this is a new interpretation though. I’m expecting it to be very different. I don’t think Regents Park would be doing it otherwise, given the amount of flogging BK has done of his touring version which was only in the WE quite recently.

True, and that and Jamie Lloyd makes it a must see. But they are charging West End prices for outdoor theatre....

Which I don't object to as Ive always found production values and cast sizes to be high at the Open Air |

No issue with WE prices per se, the productions are generally very good, it’s just that the outdoor experience can be so varied from a warm evening and that magical moment when dusk falls and the stage lights come to the fore or being incredibly cold and damp. I find Regents Park almost always drops chilly sitting still even after the hottest day. It’s such a gamble.

I wonder if Marsha Songcome is Alternate Eva? That would be great!

Adam Pearce was great in Sunset Boulevard, but that isn't a good picture to fill the page with...

I dunno guys..Adam is talented, but this is really going against type by casting him as Magaldi. Maybe they're purposely doing this to create a rather uncomfortable dynamic between him and Eva?

I thought this too! Surely he is more of a Perón than a Magaldi? In fact, didn't he cover Perón for Philip Quast in the Michael Grandage revival? |

I remember reading in ALWs book that the actress who plays Evita only does 6/8 shows a week. Do we know which performance She Sammantha Pauly won’t be performing sort from the two anomalies listed on the website? Thanks

I suppose I’m expecting it not to be set in the period judging by the artwork but not having seen anything directed by him before what is Jamie Lloyd’s ‘shtick’? Are we going to be shocked? Outraged? (Doctor Faustus caused some concerns at the time I recall).... what does everyone think? |
