S10 Ep31: Aaron Lee Lambert, Agustín Magaldi in Evita

Aaron Lee Lambert is playing Agustín Magaldi in Jamie Lloyd’s West End revival of Evita.

Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Evita is running at the London Palladium starring Rachel Zegler as Eva Peron.

Aaron worked with Jamie Lloyd ten years ago when he was in the UK premiere of Urinetown at the Other Palace and Apollo Theatre. He was part of the original West End cast of Hamilton in 2017 as a standby for several of the Principal roles, and stayed with the show until earlier this year marking a seven-and-a-half year run.

Some of Aaron's other theatre credits include: Unicorn (Other Palace), Sister Act (Curve Leicester/UK Tour), Sunset Boulevard (London Coliseum), Miss Saigon (Prince Edward), Sweeney Todd (London Coliseum), Sister Act (Aberystwyth Arts), Next Thing You Know (Landor), Shrek (Theatre Royal Drury Lane), Sister Act (London Palladium), Show Boat (Carnegie Hall), Meet John Doe (Goodspeed Opera House) and But the Giraffe/Brundibar (Yale Rep/New Victory, Off-Broadway).

Recorded as Evita previews came to an end ahead of press night, in this episode Aaron reflects on returning to work with Jamie Lloyd, the rehearsal process and what it’s been like to share the stage with Rachel Zegler. He also discusses his seven journey in Hamilton and the path of his career in musical theatre.

Evita runs at the London Palladium until 6th September 2025. Visit www.evitathemusical.com for info and tickets.
