Opera North presents Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's EVITA, one of its three Summerfest 2016 mainstage productions, tonight, July 29, through August 13 at the Lebanon Opera House. The tempestuous musical about the rise of Argentina's provocative and controversial first lady Eva Peron will be given a dynamic new production. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the stars onstage below!

Che Guevara will be played by Brandon Rubendall, seen on Broadway in Spiderman, Disaster, Anything Goes and in the national and international tours of Saturday Night Fever, Wicked and Hairspray.

Eva Peron will be played by Jenny Ashman, recently in Sleep No More NYC, The Little Mermaid in concert at the Hollywood Bowl, the world premiere of Romance Language at the Seven Angels Theatre and on Television in A God Named Pablo.

Juan Peron will be played by Mark Womack of Baz Luhrmann's award-winning Broadway production of La Bohème, and star of many major American Opera companies including Sarasota, Knoxville, Chautauqua, and the Boston Lyric Opera, to name a few.

The production will be directed by Evan Pappas (Off-Broadway Liberty, Broadway My Favorite Year, Parade), choreographed by Kurt Domoney (Broadway A Chorus Line) and conducted by Opera North Artistic Director Louis Burkot.

Set designs will be by Paul Tate DePoo (Guys and Dolls at Goodspeed, Young Frankenstein at St. Louis MUNY, Showboat at Boston's Fiddlehead Theatre), and lighting design by John Bartenstein (Les Miserable's, Steel Magnolias and Miss Saigon at North Carolina Theatre).
