Is Evita the show of the summer? And if not, what is?

Welcome to this week’s WhatsOnStage Podcast – delivered piping hot a whole two days early!

In an excitable episode (fuelled by the heatwave), Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood unite to chew over Jamie Lloyd’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita, starring Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler – now that the embargo has lifted.

After that, the pair discuss other shows that have wowed them in recent weeks – including a surprise and special hit in the form of Intimate Apparel at the Donmar Warehouse.

Wood and Crompton host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.

The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms here. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode! We’ll also be uploading episodes to YouTube a day after its podcast launch.
