The musical, by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, will reopen the multimillion pound refurbished Dominion Theatre with 55 performances from September 16. Press night is on September 22.
Following the closure of We Will Rock You at the venue in May, the theatre has been dark while technical and environmental improvements have been made to the building.
The show is currently touring the UK until July 19, where its run ends at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, before transferring to the Kursaal Oostende venue in Belgium.
Directed by Bill Kenwright and Bob Tomson, Evita will be the first show at the newly refurbished Dominion Theatre since the closure of Queen musical We Will Rock You.
Telling the story of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, Evita follows Eva's journey from humble beginnings through to extraordinary wealth, power and iconic status which ultimately lead her to be heralded as the 'spiritual leader of the nation' by the Argentine people.
The score includes well known songs such as "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Oh What a Circus" and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall".
It originally ran in the West End in 1978, starring Elaine Page in the lead role.
Evita is produced by Bill Kenwright and the Really Useful Group.
