‘Evita’ is the winner of seven Tony Awards and chronicles the true life story of Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón from childhood, rise to power, charity work and death. She rose from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady and became one of the most powerful women in the world. Even though she was loved because of her work with the poor it was her greed, outsized ambition and fragile health that made her life a tragic one. The production features Andrew Lloyd Webber’s compelling Latin, pop and jazz influenced score. It includes memorable songs such as “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “High Flying, Adored.” Christopher Rodriguez directs and choreographs and Josh Pepper is the music director. It stars Lauren Wertz-James as Evita, Travis Treviño as Che Guevara and Miguel Ochoa as Juan Peron. (Woodlawn Theatre, 2016)
