About the Musical
As ambitious as she is charismatic, Eva Duarte rises from poverty in rural Argentina to become first the mistress and then the wildly popular wife of President Juan Perón. Blending the personal with the political, this landmark of the modern musical theatre paints a dazzling portrait of a woman who helped shape history.
Exuberant Latin, rock and jazz rhythms pulse through the score of a show that took the world by storm, winning Tony, Drama Desk and Olivier Awards for best musical.
Content Advisory
Though broadly suitable for most ages, Evita does include mature content and some strong language. The show’s political elements may not be of interest to pre-teenage children. This production uses fog effects, live flame, startling sounds and the smoking of herbal cigarettes. Fur used in the costuming is either synthetic or of vintage origin. As a rock opera, Evita is amplified to a degree that some patrons may find uncomfortable.
