West End passersby see Rachel Zegler sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina on balcony
The 24-year-old was seen singing the musical's most popular number from a balcony outside the London Palladium theatre on Thursday.
Dressed in a white strapless gown with white-blonde hair, Zegler can be seen serenading crowds of fans who have stopped to film the performance from outside the theatre.
The artistic choice has meant that ticketed audience members are unable to witness the live rendition themselves, but rather, watch it on a screen from inside the theatre.
Zegler rose to fame after staring as Maria in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story which saw her win the Golden Globe Award for best actress.
She has since garnered a series of film credits including for the Hunger Games franchise, appearing in the prequel, The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes, as Lucy Gray Baird, and also starred in Shazam! Fury Of The Gods, both of which were released in 2023.
She went on to make her Broadway debut in 2024, starring as Juliet in Romeo And Juliet with clips going viral after Heartstopper's Kit Connor, who played Romeo, did a pull up on stage to kiss her.
Zegler is also known for starring in the title role of a live action film version of Disney's Snow White.
Her portrayal of Peron in Lloyd's production marks the actress' debut on the West End.
Evita opened on June 14 and will run at the London Palladium for 12 weeks.

Bella Thorne pulls bizarre stunt on her fiance that leaves fans divided: 'This just feels wrong'
Bella Thorne pulled a bizarre stunt on her fiancé Mark Emms that had her fans flooding the comments section of her social media page with mixed reactions. Fans of the 27-year-old actress seemed wholly divided when she shared an Instagram post proposing to her partner — one year after he had already proposed to her. She got down on one knee in the living room of their home, which was decorated with flowers and lit candles. In her caption, she commemorated their anniversary and wrote: '3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now 1 year later so did I.' The Disney child star — who claimed a major male pop star made up a 'lie' about her after she refused to sleep with him — included photos and videos from different angles of her low-key, at-home proposal. Many of her fans took to the comments section to share their opinions on her popping the question again — as some gushed with praise and others harshly criticized her. During her proposal, the film producer also got down on his knees so that they were eye level. After she concluded her speech, the couple kissed and wrapped their arms around each other as they embraced. In addition to the clips of her proposal, she also included several snapshots of the romantic setting with red and white flowers around the room. Thorne also snapped a photo of her future husband with a wide-eyed, smiling expression and his arms in the air as he posed underneath dozens of red heart balloons. She also shared a selfie of him kissing her cheek as well as a mirror selfie with Emms hugging her from behind. The pair were first romantically linked in August 2022 after meeting at Cara Delevingne's birthday party that year. He asked her to marry him nine months after they started dating. In May 2023, she announced that Emms had proposed to her the day before Mother's Day at her house, popping the question to her with a massive, emerald-cut diamond ring.

Mum censors three seconds of Disney's Tangled but everyone says same thing
A mum has caused a stir after choosing to censor the same "three seconds" of a popular Disney film because she doesn't want her daughter to hear or be negatively influenced by it A mum has taken to 'censoring' the same part of a song in Disney's smash hit animated film Tangled but it's left many people disagreeing with her. Tangled, released in 2010, tells the story of Rapunzel, a princess who is kidnapped by the evil, narcissistic Mother Gothel who is desperate to hold onto her youth and beauty. She locks Rapunzel in an isolated tower and raises her as her own, all so she can use the princess's famous golden hair for her personal gain. This is because Rapunzel's hair has magical qualities that can heal wounds and reverse time, helping Mother Gothel maintain her looks. As the film progresses, Rapunzel's curiosity about the outside world grows and she raises these feelings with Mother Gothel. This leads to the hit song, Mother Knows Best, in which the evil character tries to instil deep fears into Rapunzel. She sings about 'ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand, cannibals and snakes' as well as 'the plague' and 'men with pointy teeth' in a bid to terrify Rapunzel. To hammer things home further, Mother Gothel then goes on to criticise Rapunzel's character, blasting her as 'sloppy, underdressed, immature, [and] clumsy', as well as 'gullible, naïve', 'positively grubby' and 'ditzy'. The next line, however, is being consistently censored by one mum who doesn't want her daughter to hear it. It's when Mother Gothel sings: 'Plus, I believe, getting kinda chubby," while tapping underneath Rapunzel's chin. In a video shared to TikTok, the woman's little girl can be seen from behind as she watches the film. When it's time for the offending lyric, the mum mutes the track before turning the volume up once it's passed. Over the top of the footage, the mum added the words: 'Muting the same three seconds every time my daughter asks to watch Tangled." But many other TikTok users thought this was an unusual and unwarranted tactic to take which could do more harm than good. One person said: 'She censored 'chubby' we are doomed as a society." Another said: 'Prepare the child for the road not the road for the child.' To which, someone else replied: 'This exactly. It would be the perfect time to open up a dialogue about why that line in context is wrong and why it's also wrong to apply to real life.' A fourth suggested: 'Couldn't you just explain to her why Mother Gothel is wrong?' While a fifth said: 'Since Mother Gothel is the 'bad guy' use that to help explain [how] what she said was wrong and bad." Offering a different perspective, another TikTok user said: 'God forbid she wants her child to be body positive." But someone else replied: 'The whole point is the evil character is saying this. Censoring anything negative is just going to affect her child later on..." Another person said: 'She's a villain, of course she's going to be mean. What???' And another said: 'Thing is, every time you pause it, you're drawing attention to it." Others were confused as to why the mum felt the need to censor the word 'chubby' but not any of the other negative things Mother Gothel said about Rapunzel. One person said: 'All of the other things she is saying and mom is hyper focused on the chubby part????' Another added: 'Why would you not censor all the other things Mother Gothel is saying. Things that are literally worse than the chubby line."

Disney's most expensive experiences revealed… and some will cost visitors MILLIONS
If you thought a regular day at Disney World or Disneyland was expensive, then brace yourself for the price of the extra experiences that Mickey and his friends have to offer. With single day tickets to the parks continuously rising, and families forking over hundreds more on food and hotels - it's easy to spend a pretty penny at the famous parks. A ticket to enter Disneyland in Anaheim, California, when it first opened in 1955 would have cost an adult just $1, which would be $11.53 today if adjusted for inflation, while children's tickets cost a mere 50 cents. At the time of opening, however, guests had to additional fees for each ride. But these cost just 10 cents for kids and 23 cents for adults - the equivalent of $1.15 and $2.65 in today's dollars. Now, it'll cost you anywhere from $103 to $206 for a day at Disneyland and a minimum of $119 for Disney World, depending on when you go and the type of ticket you buy. And if you think that's bad, some added perks can actually cost more than a house. TikTok user known as Disney Magic Daily recently went viral on the app after they curated a list of the most expensive experiences that customers can partake in at Disney's parks. From a private VIP tour to sleeping inside the castle itself, here are the most expensive experiences offered at the Happiest Place on Earth... and how much they would cost you. Victoria and Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort If you think eating out at one of the Disney parks is expensive, just wait until you find out how much it costs to dine at Victoria and Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. It's more than just a meal - it's a fine dining experience available only for guests over 10 years old. Described as an 'exquisite and intimate upscale dining experience' and the 'culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort,' the restaurant has a strict semi-formal dress code and a $100 cancellation free if you cancel within five days of your reservation. 'From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in the splendor of a bygone era,' reads a description. 'Victoria & Albert's is home to sophisticated dining spaces that feature shimmering chandelier crystals, Victorian-inspired murals, delicate embroidery, intricate lace details and other stylish touches at every turn.' As per the website, the prix-fixe menu begins at $295 per guest with an optional wine pairings starting at $155 per guest. Non-alcoholic pairings start at $115 per guest. Private VIP Tour Next on the list was the Private VIP tour of the parks, where a private tour guide takes customers wherever they want to go around the park. The tour guide escorts the guests every step of the way, teaching them about the parks, giving them secret backstage access, and allowing them to skip the main lines on rides and instead use the faster Lightning Lane entrance. Prices range from $450 to $900 per hour, with a minimum of seven hours and a maximum of 10 hours. Valid theme park admission is required for each theme park visited on the tour and is not included in the price of the tour, bringing the cost up even further. The private tour includes pre-arrival planning, a flexible start time dictated by the guest, visits to multiple theme parks, and the ability to enjoy some of your favorite attractions efficiently during your visit. Club 33 The famous and ultra-exclusive Club 33 is next, which is Disney's secret members-only club located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The initiation fee for Club 33 costs tens of thousands of dollars alone, with the annual fees costing another $32,000, according to a couple who made headlines last year after they were banned from the club. The LA Times reported it can cost as much as $50,000 for the initiation fee to the club, and it will guarantee Disney-lovers countless perks in the park, fine dining, and a lounge where they can mingle. Club 33 is tucked away in plain sight in the middle of Disneyland's New Orleans Square. The restaurant and club is recognized only by its '33' plaque hanging above the door, with a rumored 500 members and a further 800 on the waiting list. To become a member, you have to fill out an online form, where prospective members are asked to provide their name, address, phone number, and email address. However, submitting a form doesn't mean you'll automatically become a member, with the site noting: 'If the opportunity presents itself, Club 33 may contact you.' How the club decides who to offer membership to is up to their 'sole discretion.' Golden Oak Golden Oak is Disney's private residential community in Florida where you can live on property full time. The cluster of homes opened in 2011 with mansions ranging from the low millions to tens of millions. Homeowners get VIP perks, concierge services, and live next door to the park, with houses starting at a whopping $4 million and some even reaching $20 million. In 2023, the Daily Mail reported that one home within the community sold for nearly $10 million after 50 showings. In addition, on average, residents pay up to $30,000 a year in HOA dues. Homeowners get VIP perks, concierge services and live next door to the park, with houses starting at a whopping $4 million and have even reached $20 million Golden Oak is only a five-minute short drive to the Magic Kingdom - so close that residents can see the theme park's fireworks from their homes - and a seven-minute drive to EPCOT. Disney also handles the community's day-to-day operations and provide the residents with transportation to the parks and even gives them early access to new rides. Disney's animators and actors also come to the community's clubhouse to host seminars and the community has several restaurants. Cinderella's Castle Suite Staying in the suite in Cinderella's Castle is many Disney-lover's dream. The elusive room is hidden in Cinderella's Castle and is Disney World's most exclusive spot - no one can book it and those who stay there have to win a contest or be invited. Originally, it was intended to be an apartment for Walt Disney and his family when they stayed in Florida. Sadly Walt died in 1966 prior to park opening and so it was left unfinished for almost 30 years. In 2005 the suite was finally completed and upholstered as a 'royal bedchamber,' which can sleep up to six people. The suite consists of a salon, bedchamber, and bathroom off of a private marble-floored foyer. An exclusive elevator opens to the foyer, where on display is Cinderella's glass slipper, her coronation crown and scepter, and several pumpkins from her collection. The bedchamber isn't large, but finds room for two queen sized beds and a pull-out sofa in the adjacent parlor. Both the bedchamber and salon are furnished in the style of the era of 'the Louies,' the French rulers of the period that inspired the castle and Cinderella's story. The deco is rich in detail including nooks showcasing clocks, porcelain and accessories befitting the period. Doors are richly detailed; the walls are covered with wood panels and intricate wall coverings.
