About The Show
Evita charts the young and ambitious Eva Peron’s meteoric rise to sainthood. Set in Argentina between 1934 and 1952, the Tony-winning musical follows Eva Duarte on her
journey from poor illegitimate child to ambitious actress to, as wife of military leader-turned-president Juan Peron, the most powerful woman in Latin America, before her
death from cancer at age 33.
The events in Evita’s life are presented in song and commented on by the show’s narrator, Ché. Well-known numbers from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical
masterpiece include “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” “Buenos Aires” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”
Evita has strong leading and featured roles, plenty of scope for singing and dancing ensembles and one of Lloyd Webber’s most-loved scores, combining Latin, jazz, pop and more
traditional influences.
Noda Review
The ensemble captured the drama
right from the beginning and the
audience sensed every part of
emotion coming from the cast
throughout the production. They
worked hard, and the execution of
the piece demonstrated the
experience of the cast.
