Musical: Evita @ G & L Theatre





Madonna’s not in this play, but the compelling and dramatic story of Eva Peron comes to life at the G & L Theatre. Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece: as an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires; Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the president's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead at thirty-three. Eva Peron was a "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" and was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy, unique in the 20th century. Don¹t miss this great musical told through a compelling score by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice.
