SALOS Bringing Evita to Town. And rehearsals are well under way for the first-ever production of Evita staged in Swindon. Thus bringing Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s legendary musical to local audiences for the very first time.
From the passionate rhythms of Buenos Aires to the iconic Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Evita tells the powerful and poignant story of Argentina’s first lady. The show traces her rise from poverty to political power and fame.
Evita is one of the most beloved and challenging musicals. And we’re proud to be bringing it to a local audience for the very first time” said Russell Langdown, Director . ‘The response from the cast, crew, and community has been incredible.’
A SALOS production
Presented by SALOS (Swindon Amateur Light Operatic Society), this groundbreaking production marks a historic moment for Swindon’s performing arts scene. With a talented cast and creative team working hard to bring the legendary and gripping story of Eva Peron to life.
The now closed, buzz-worthy West End revival starring Hollywood star Rachel Zegler as Eva Peron saw ticket prices rise to up to £500 per ticket. But with tickets to SALOS’s version of the show starting at only £23, the anticipation is building and tickets are already in demand. SALOS are encouraging audiences to book early to avoid disappointment.

A bit about SALOS
SALOS – a Swindon institution since 1951! THAT is even older than me! Blimey. Indeed, back in 2022, they celebrated their 70th birthday.
The society performed their first production, The Arcadians, in 1952 holding auditions at 79 Bath Road. A current VP, Byron Carron, recalls that his job that day was to greet the would-be, hopefuls for the production. His father, Arthur Carron, an international English operatic tenor, produced that show.
