Lyrics by Tim Rice, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber“Sexy, seductive and sublime” -The New York Daily News

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita charts the rags-to-riches rise of the FirstLady of Argentina, Eva Duarte Perón. It follows her journey from fatherless child, toambitious actress, to the most powerful woman in Latin America and eventually, to asaint-like figure after her death from cancer at age 33. This musical theatre masterpiecefuses evocative chorales with exuberant Latin pop and jazz influences, creating anarresting theatrical portrait as complex as Eva Perón herself. Actors' Playhouse isthrilled to reprise Evita, one of the most significant productions in our 30-year history,in both English and Spanish.
