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.

While there had been some eyebrows raised over the decision for Rachel’s Evita to perform the show’s signature tune Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony of the Palladium theatre, with audiences watching from a screen while passers by enjoy it for free, the risk has been deemed by critics to pay off.
