From a life of poverty to the First Lady of Argentina, Eva Peron was hailed as the spiritual leader of the nation. Seen as the champion of the poor, her ambition, glamour and power made her the world’s first major political celebrity, winning the adoration of the people.

With a chart-topping score including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Oh What A Circus, You Must Love Me, and Another Suitcase in Another Hall – and having “redefined Jesus Christ Superstar for a whole new generation of theatregoers” – Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre presents Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical, Evita.
