Evita

Often considered Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s greatest masterpiece, Evita tells the true rags to riches story of Eva Duarte, a small town illegitimate Argentinian girl. At 15, she escapes her dirt-poor small town existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires where her charisma and allure make her an instant movie star and finally wife to Juan Peron, soon to become military dictator of the country. Geniuses Rice and Webber tell the story of a woman—and a nation—through a haunting score (including Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina) fusing large-cast rock anthems with Latino, pop and jazz influences, dramatizing a thrilling epic story as theatrical and complex as the woman herself—Evita Peron!
