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 was worth going
All the good things other have said are all valid and I agree with most of them. My only critical comment is the part of Evita was a little too much for lead actress Caroline Bowman. Her voice was just a gasp when she had to sing while dancing, She did a much better job in the second half of the show. Josh Young as Chi was absolutely fantastic. The show is worth going to, but a stronger lead voice was expected. ... Read more
