Synopsis: A groundbreaking revival of the Tony Award-winning rock opera that follows the adored and reviled Eva Perón’s meteoric rise to first lady of Argentina before her death at 33.
:
Eva Perón: Latine, female, 15–33 over the course of the musical. The first lady of Argentina. She is bold, determined, gutsy, glamorous, sharp, captivating, demanding, and quite controversial all at the same time. As the piece progresses, she evolves from a feisty, ferocious, spitfire of a teen into an elegantly fierce powerhouse of a first lady who also holds deep pain and vulnerability. Strong mixed belt.
Che: Latine, male, 40s–50s. The show’s narrator, a jaded cynic who provides a critique on Evita and her followers throughout the musical. Seeking danger, edge, belligerence, and a propensity for hostility while simultaneously – a wicked sense of humor and an ability to connect with/speak directly to the audience. In this production, Che is Che as Everyman vs. Che as Che Guevara. Rock tenor.
Perón: Latine, male, 40s. President of Argentina. A stolid, but charismatic politician who is at once authoritative and charming. He is power hungry, but unlike his wife, only to a point. Strong baritone.
Magaldi: Latine, male, 36–46. A tango singer who takes advantage of teenage Eva and her yearning for a route to the big city. He’s a showman reeking of sleaziness and manipulation – a guy whose night of easy pleasure turns into a problem in the form of a feisty teen he can’t get off his hands. “Cheesy” baritone.
Mistress: Female, 18+ to play 16-18. Juan Perón’s mistress – note the 33 year age gap and all it implies this teenager has endured and survived. Sings “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.” Vulnerable yet nursing a secret. Latine performers encouraged to audition.
