The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre has released rehearsal photos from its upcoming production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Tony- and Olivier Award-winning Evita, which begins performances August 2 for a run through September 21.

The Jamie Lloyd-directed staging of the 1978 rock musical is the fastest-selling production in the theatre’s history, prompting the announcement of two additional matinee performances on August 21 and August 28.

The production features Samantha Pauly (in her U.K. debut) as Evita, Ektor Rivera (Emilio Estefan in On Your Feet! on Broadway and U.S. tour) as Juan Peron, Trent Saunders (Aladdin) as Che, Adam Pearce as Agustín Magaldi, and Olivier nominee Frances Mayli McCann (Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) as the Mistress.
