Abigail Jaye is playing the role of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, in Bill Kenwright’s latest tour of Evita which kicks off at the Churchill Theatre Bromley on 23rd March.
Evita was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The tour runs until the end of the year, but only has three UK dates as it travelling through Greece, Italy and Germany.
Abigail’s credits include the Churchill Theatre Production of Dr Dolittle as Emma Fairfax, playing opposite Tommy Steele in Scrooge at the London Palladium and the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the New London Theatre, West End.

Saw the show last night. Abigail Jaye was amazing. Her voice is effortless, a must see!
I thought her voice was a little shouty when using her upper register. A shame, as I thought she acted the role well and sang a lot of the score reasonably well. Certainly not the best Eva I have seen (I think Kathryn Evans in the 1986 London & Manchester cast was the best I ever saw).
I see the show yesterday in Trieste (Italy) It's fantastic, her voice is a dream...
I saw the show in Trieste (Italy), wonderful voice and brilliant performance! Thank you Abi!
is Evita coming to newcastle or sunderland?
Afraid not in the latest set of dates I have. If you click on the tour of Evita link in my original blog it lists all the dates I have so far.
i am one of the children in it, we are currently performing in wimbledon theatre. you are all right, she is amazing at singing and she is one of the nicest and funniest people i have ever met. great praise to abigail jaye :)
I saw her as Evita in munich. Awesome. Brilliant. I wish I could find a recording of her in this role.
A must see indeed, and most of all a must hear.
Thank you Abigail Jaye for that musical gift
