Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic
musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen-year-old, Eva escaped
her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven
by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two,
the president's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven,
and dead at thirty-three.
Eva Peron "saint to the working-class,
reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was
destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th
century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales
with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an
arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
