  1. They’re waiting to see Rachel Zegler sing Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony

  2. Evita.

    In real life, Eva Peron was famous for making speeches from the balcony of the presidential palace in Buenos Aires.

    The play makes a feature of this as the character stands on an artificial balcony onstage to address the people by singing the signature song “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina.”

    The current production has come up with a new approach. Don’t build a balcony on stage, just use the actual balcony of the Palladium Theatre. So the character does literally address the masses every night.

    The paying audience watch inside via a video feed.

    The singing is live, the orchestra is live.

    It’s a very clever conceit.

    Either that, or its the queue for Angus Steak House.

  3. Snow White will appear with a fawn, couple of rabbits and a squirrel.

  4. So basically currently at the London palladium evita is being down, of which stars Rachel Ziegler. In this show, of which I may not spoil, Jamie Lloyd has decided to make Eva person come outside because that’s how he directs. So many gather to watch her every night. (This is my daughter typing)

  5. All you have to do is just ask any of those people

  6. Evita, and yes, I have been on that balcony many times if anyone is asking.

  7. Queue to the latest popup where you get to pay 100 quid to kick an estate agent in the balls.

  8. OMG how much are London theatre tickets now?! I thought this looked interesting so had a look and £200+ each. Okayyyy

  9. They distribute the leftover food, popcorn etc. Though times

  10. I was just there today. One of those small things that makes living in a city like London special.

  11. Jamie Lloyd loves an outside moment. There was an outdoor sequence in his Sunset Blvd.
