Eva Perón used her smarts and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. Adored by her people as a champion for the poor, she became one of the most powerful women in the world - while her greed, outsized ambition and fragile health made her one of the most tragic. EVITA tells Eva's passionate and unforgettable true story, and features some of theater's most memorable songs, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying, Adored."
The production team for EVITA includes Michael Nedza (scenic designer/technical director), Lindsay Prerost (costume design), Dante J. Orfei (lighting design), Michael Kott (multimedia design) and Barbara Charlene (fight director/stage manager).
