THERE'S a place in London where you can catch a performance of a Hollywood A-Lister belting out one of the most well-known songs in musical theatre.
Every night during Evita, leading actress Rachel Zegler heads out onto the London Palladium balcony and you don't have to pay a penny to watch her sing.

The West End performance of Evita is in the London Palladium Theatre from now until September 6, 2025.
Rachel Zegler, the Hollywood actress who recently starred in the live action Snow White, plays protagonist Eva Perón.
Every evening, Rachel will go out onto the London Palladium balcony to perform Don't Cry for Me Argentina on a balcony outside on Argyll Street.
And passersby can enjoy the performance for free as she emerges from the theatre at around 9.05PM.
Rachel made her Evita debut on Saturday, June 14 and has pulled in huge crowds so far.
With word continuing to spread about the event, it'll surely become more and more packed.
There are barriers to stop people getting too close to the front of the theatre.
And Argyll Street is also fairly narrow, so if you want to secure a good view, we'd advise to get there early.
She is playing former First Lady of Argentina Eva Peron in the show, which debuted in 1978 and was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Following the announcement earlier this year, Rachel said: "Evita has been such an important musical to me since I was a little girl, when my dad and I would sing Don't Cry for Me Argentina together on my back patio."

With Rachel going outside for the hit number, those who have paid for tickets inside the London Palladium watch through live video link projected onto a massive screen.
As for getting tickets inside, these are from as little as £20.
But looking at the seating plan, these are standing spots behind the stalls.
Affordable seated tickets start at £29.50 for views from the Grand Circle.
The most expensive tickets are as much as £245 for seats central to the stage.
Rachel is no stranger to musical theatre and starred in Stephen Spielberg's Oscar-winning adaptation of West Side Story in 2021.
