Jamie Lloyd’s exquisite new leading man on the honour of “pushing the boundaries” as Juan Perón in this fresh telling of Evita at the world-famous London Palladium, learning from the genius of Jamie’s direction – something he says is “a dream come true” – and its relevance to a 2025 audience.

We also dive into blending onstage live performance with camera work to make the perfect musical experience, his love of the “perfect narrator” in Diego Andres Rodriguez and how he’s fighting the online love and exposure of a certain viral balcony moment to keep distance for his character on stage – however challenging it’s been! 

Plus, why Rachel Zegler’s performance as Eva Perón is “one of the finest castings of all time” – and why he is “so in awe of the force of nature” that she is. And why he won’t hear a bad word said about his teeny weeny black tie.
