Eva Perón used her beauty 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 beautiful songs, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying, Adored." This stunning new production of EVITA is directed by Michael Grandage and choreographed by Rob Ashford, that Channel 4 New York called "THE HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN!"

Group sales are available for groups of 20 or more; for further information and to order, contact Group Sales Representative Paul Hiatt at phiatt@ppacri.org or (401) 574-3162.
