Paying fans of Rachel Zegler and her West End debut in Evita were shocked to find that the show’s most iconic number, Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, was being performed outside the venue, leaving ticket holders inside the theater to watch the performance on a screen.
The decision, which was part of director Jamie Lloyd’s reimagining of the popular musical, stirred backlash online.
Netizens called it “a bit of a rip-off,” as some spent hundreds to attend the show at the London Palladium in the UK.
