Click here for more information on this production that runs through March 3rd.
"Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita is a powerful and factual musical that follows the rise to power and fame of Eva Duarte and Juan Perón, who became Argentina's president in 1946. The show won the 1978 Tony Award for Best Musical and the score features the well-known song, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." The current touring production of the musical is in town for a weekend run, and it's a solid production with an energetic cast and direction and creative elements that are top notch.....Director and choreographer Andy Ferrara has done a fairly good job of finding a cast who bring passion and energy to their roles. His choreography pulsates with the beat, heat and energy that echo the drive to fame and power we see in Eva and Perón and is well danced by the cast. Bruce Brockman's scenic design may be fairly simple....but with the addition of Mark Ciglar's video elements we are quickly whisked away to the many locations in the show. The use of archive photos and video gives this production the added element of authenticity...Seeing actual photos and newsreel footage of Eva and Juan and the people of Argentina grounds this production in reality..." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
