EVITA
It made its World Premiere in London in 1978, and now Andrew Lloyd Webber's stirring musical about the life of Argentinian icon Eva Peron gets a fresh West End revival. Get tickets here.
Eva Peron used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. She won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor, whilst glamour, power and greed made her the world's first major political celebrity.
The London production of Evita stars Argentinian-born actress Elena Roger in the title role, three-time Olivier Award winner Philip Quast as her husband, Juan Peron, and West End regular Matt Rawle as narrator and revolutionary, Che.
With its multi-award-winning production team, reunited from the recent revival of Guys and Dolls and the addition of exciting new orchestrations, Evita tells her passionate and tragic story through Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling score and Tim Rice's most famous lyrics, including "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" and "High Flying Adored." This production will also feature the Oscar-winning song, "You Must Love Me," from the 1996 film adaptation starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas.
