By: BWW News Desk
To celebrate the highly-anticipated Broadway return of EVITA, BroadwayWorld invited readers to get into the Argentine spirit by channeling the iconic First Lady Eva Perón to win a pair of tickets to the show and dinner for two at the Chimichurri Grill in New York City.
Many of you rose to the challenge, flung arms into the air and submitted some very creative entries - from inspired moments snuck into community theater productions, to "addressing the People" on the balcony of the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, and even striking a pose in some very original settings.
Take a look at some of the entries below, get inspired, raise your arms up Evita-style and submit your photo today!
