Why see Evita?
EVITA tells Eva's passionate and tragic story through Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling and beloved score, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying Adored," together with "You Must Love Me", the Oscar-winning hit from the film EVITA.
After researching the life of Eva Peron for many years, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber released EVITA in 1976 as a concept album with Julie Covington as Eva and it became a world-wide hit. Soon after, the production debuted on stage in London's West End starring Elaine Paige and directed by Hal Prince.
The production transferred to Broadway and opened in 1979 starring Patti LuPone, who went on to win one of the seven 1980 Tony Awards the show earned.

EVITA AT DRURY LANE
The play was excellent. There were standout actors especially the man who played Che, however the girl who played Eve Peron was very hard to understand so a lot was lost in understanding the show. I went home and watched Madonna play the part and her diction was perfect compared to this girl. She has a nice voice but her diction was horrible for a lot of the songs. Because this play is all singing and no dialogue, it is so important to be able to understand what she is saying. ... Read more

Evita Stands for Star Power
New or old fans of this show will be impressed with this high-
octaine mounting. Darker and more edgy than the original. The
three stars, Caroline Bowman, Josh Young & Sean MacLaughlin
are more than a touch of star quality. Young is incandescent as
Che with a voice that could sing real opera. Darkly handsome
and loaded with charisma he owns the stage. Bowman looks
beautiful in the costumes, with a strongly dramatic voice, and
when blonde, resembles Evita. Sean MacLaughlin another
commanding, masculine presence both vocally and visually.
Entire cast, triple threat....I saw it four times in Los Angeles
Do not miss this show!
