Many London Shows have officially opened over the last month. What’s more, shpw new and old have even released their production images too. We have the run down of all the new shows and also the West End’s latest production images.
Evita
Evita is the most groundbreaking of the New London Shows that are currently on. Jamie Lloyd’s new show sparked controversy online with his directorial choices. Ultimately however, it has received 5-star reviews across the board.
Evita tells the story of Argentina’s first lady Eva Peron. It is her rags-to-riches story of becoming a symbol for the common people. Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera), director Jamie Lloyd is reimagining this production like he did with the multi-award-winning revival of Sunset Boulevard. Hollywood star Rachel Zegler plays the leading role to packed-out audiences at The London Palladium every night. She also performs to the people of London on the street below. It has been estimated that an additional 600 people fill the streets to catch a glimpse of Zegler and one of the most famous songs in the show.
Lastly, this is one of two New London Shows which feature celebrities this summer. You can see what all the fuss is about yourself by booking tickets for Evita at The London Palladium until 6th September 2025.

Tina Production Images With Fleur East
Tina shocked the West End earlier this year by announcing their closure this September. It is the longest-running show to ever play at The Aldywch Theatre. That being said, Tina is going out with a bang! They’ve got on board pop star Fleur East on board to perform the leading role that is the iconic, Tina Turner.
The musical features all Tina Turner songs and is a biopic of the superstar’s life and her rise to fame. The legend herself gave this quote when asked about her feelings on the musical that shares her life story:
“It’s really important to me to have the chance to share my full story. This musical is not about my stardom. It is about the journey I took to get there. Each night I want audiences to take away from the theatre that you can turn poison into medicine.”
Fleur East is sharing the role this summer with long-standing lead for this show, Karis Anderson. Head to the theatre’s website for more details of East’s performance dates.
We loved our discounted tickets for Tina here at LSBO, so book now before it’s too late!
