From Argentina to Cleveland,
Evita Still Reigns
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s
legendary musical in its latest incarnation, EVITA,
is coming to Playhouse Square Center beginning January
10, 2006.
“Evita” is just one of
the many things that Eva Peron was called: others included
whore, feminist, tyrant, and saint. Eva Duarte de Peron
was the beautiful, legendary, charismatic woman who rose
from poverty to become the hypnotically powerful First
Lady of Argentina, wife of the former Argentine dictator
Juan Peron. To millions of people she was a savior; to
her enemies she was a monstrous dictator. Eva “Evita”
Peron became the driving spirit guiding the lives of millions
and dominated the politics of a nation for over 30 years—21
of them after her death!
From her illegitimate birth into
poverty, to her status as a world player and South America’s
most important woman, Eva Peron’s story is one of
glamour, power, and greed.
