About Evita:
Don’t miss Webber and Rice’s captivating and soaring rags -to-riches musical theatre epic about the First Lady of Argentina, Evita. The Tony-winning musical depicts the infamous real-life story of Eva "Evita" Duarte de Peron, the wife of President Juan Peron, who rose from poverty to become the most famous Argentine woman in history. Her huge political influence and constant charity work earned her scorn and fear from the military and upper classes but adoration and love from the workers and descamisados. Evita's legendary life is displayed before your eyes as the most hated and most beloved woman in Argentina. With the songs “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”
