Evita

Why see Evita?

EVITA tells Eva's passionate and tragic story through Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling and beloved score, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying Adored," together with "You Must Love Me", the Oscar-winning hit from the film EVITA.

After researching the life of Eva Peron for many years, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber released EVITA in 1976 as a concept album with Julie Covington as Eva and it became a world-wide hit. Soon after, the production debuted on stage in London's West End starring Elaine Paige and directed by Hal Prince.

The production transferred to Broadway and opened in 1979 starring Patti LuPone, who went on to win one of the seven 1980 Tony Awards the show earned.

EVITA = STAR POWER

Do not miss this show! The 3 stars; Josh Young, Caroline Bowman and Sear MacLaughlin are all fantastic. They are gorgeous to look at, can all sing & dance, and they alone are worth the price of admission. However the rest of the cast is about the same. Young good looking and all a triple threat. If you have never seen it go. If you loved the original you will love this! ... Read more

Evita Stands for Star Power

New or old fans of this show will be impressed with this high- octaine mounting. Darker and more edgy than the original. The three stars, Caroline Bowman, Josh Young & Sean MacLaughlin are more than a touch of star quality. Young is incandescent as Che with a voice that could sing real opera. Darkly handsome and loaded with charisma he owns the stage. Bowman looks beautiful in the costumes, with a strongly dramatic voice, and when blonde, resembles Evita. Sean MacLaughlin another commanding, masculine presence both vocally and visually. Entire cast, triple threat....I saw it four times in Los Angeles Do not miss this show! ... Read more
