Evita charts the young and ambitious Eva Perón’s meteoric rise from poverty to sainthood. Set in Argentina between 1934-1952, the Olivier and Tony winning musical follows Eva María Duarte on her journey from poor illegitimate child to ambitious actress to, as the wife of military leader-turned-president Juan Perón, the most powerful woman in Latin America, before her death from cancer at age 33.

The events in Eva’s life are presented in song and commented on by the show’s narrator, Ché Guevara. 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”.

With one of Lloyd Webber’s most-loved scores, combining Latin, jazz, pop and more traditional influences, Evita is one of the most popular musicals of modern times, and we were delighted to be granted a licence to stage a full scale production with such a talented cast.
