When it was announced that Evita was coming to the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre this summer, there were huge amounts of excitement. In fact, it became the fastest-selling production in the theatre’s history.
So just to tease us before the production opens in a few weeks, they’ve released some rehearsal photos of the cast in action!

The musical features a chart-topping score including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Oh! What A Circus, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, and the Academy Award-winning You Must Love Me.
