The passionate story of Eva Perón, brought to life by the soaring melodies and lyrics of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, will sweep you away to the tumultuous world of Argentina.

Born out of wedlock in 1919, the tempestuous and driven Eva left home at the age of 15 and within ten years, she became a successful actress and personality. Soon wed to Juan Perón and quickly becoming the first lady of Argentina, Eva Perón became a larger than life character in the hearts and minds of Argentineans.

Narrated by the mysterious Che, the magnificent saga of Evita will capture your ear, and move your heart in a rare theatrical treat.

You’ll be carried away by this unusual musical, with its rock-opera elements and historical storyline, perfectly melded with rich sounds and vibrant South American rhythms.
