Evita at Carpenter Performing Arts Center

With a stunning score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and the famed lyrics of Tim Rice, the inspiring true story of Eva Perón -- the controversial first lady of Argentina -- comes to vivid life on stage. Filled with showstoppers like "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall," Evita follows a peasant girl as she uses her considerable smarts to rise from the slums of Argentina to become the wife of the President and a powerful advocate for the working class. The musical's haunting score fuses dramatic chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, to create an extraordinary theatrical portrait that burns as bright as Evita herself. Don't miss Musical Theatre West's production of this modern classic.
