Jamie Lloyd’s spin on the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical has caused a stir by sending the protagonist outside the theater to perform "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" to crowds on the street.

Despite having only opened in June, Jamie Lloyd's Evita has already created plenty of buzz in the theatre world and beyond. You've probably already seen the videos swarming social media of Rachel Zegler as Eva Perón performing Don't Cry For Me Argentina on the balcony outside the Palladium. More on that later.

The crowd roars and the vast, unsmiling curtain-call cast line the stage with the leading man bare-chested and covered in blood. No, this isn’t director Jamie Lloyd’s “Sunset Boulevard” — it’s his “Evita”.
