Michael Lin: The Ensemble and 'Evita'

Michael Lin has been in the ensemble of some of the biggest shows in recent years including 'Anything Goes' at the Barbican, 'Hello, Dolly' at the London Palladium and is now back at the iconic venue for Jamie Lloyd's 'Evita'. Having previously collaborated on the hugely acclaimed 'Sunset Boulevard' at the Savoy Theatre, Michael Lin tells us about the joy of getting back into rehearsals with Jamie Lloyd and with Fabian Aloise, the choreographer for 'Evita' and how dance plays an integral part to this latest production. He reveals how he was previously cast for Jamie Lloyd's transfer of 'Evita' at the Barbican, after the show received rave reviews from critics at Regent's Park, so joining the company has felt particularly wholesome for him.

Having started his career in Asia, performing in cities like Hong Kong, Michael Lin talks to us about his journey going from Asia to London's glittering West End. We hear him talk about his hopes for playing more principal roles as well in the future having previously played the title role in 'Pippin' and covered lead roles in 'Oklahoma' and 'Anything Goes'. As he continues performances for 'Evita' however, he tells us about the joy of getting to work with this particular company and how he's been able to learn from his peers, including Rachel Zegler who he films on camera for this production.

'Evita' runs at the London Palladium until 6th September 2025.
