Curve Leicester has announced its festive show later this year will be Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita.

Directed by the venue’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, the show will play from 27 November 2023-13 January 2024, with tickets going on sale later this month.

Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Artistic Director Nikolai Foster said: “Evita stands as one of the definitive musicals of all time and we are beyond excited to be presenting a brand-new Made at Curve production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece later this year. Eva Perón has now acquired legend status; her profoundly moving story is fascinating and remains intensely relevant to the world in which we live today.

“We’ve always tried to offer our audiences here in Leicester bold and visually arresting productions of the great musicals and Evita promises to continue this tradition, as we aim high and try to match the original ambition Tim and Andrew had when they first created this extraordinary piece of musical theatre.

“All of us at Curve look forward to delivering a brand-new production of this astonishing musical to our stage.”

The cast and wider creative team will be revealed in due course.
