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 AT DRURY LANE

The play was excellent. There were standout actors especially the man who played Che, however the girl who played Eve Peron was very hard to understand so a lot was lost in understanding the show. I went home and watched Madonna play the part and her diction was perfect compared to this girl. She has a nice voice but her diction was horrible for a lot of the songs. Because this play is all singing and no dialogue, it is so important to be able to understand what she is saying. ... Read more

Broadway voices/performances

I have seen Evita on several big stages. The performance in San Bernardino had scaled-down staging and sets. Artistically, however, it was a powerfully-done first class production. The lead characters were all excellent singers, and I felt they were every bit as good as those I had seen in national tours and on Broadway. Evita herself stood out even more.....a wonderful evening. ... Read more
