The Show: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s EVITA charts the rags-to-riches rise of the First Lady of Argentina, who won the love of her countrymen after marrying military leader-turned-president Juan Peron. Set in Buenos Aires between 1934- 1952, the musical follows Eva Durante Peron on her journey from fatherless child to ambitious actress to the most powerful woman in Latin America – and eventually, to a saint-like figure after her death from cancer at age 33. The events in Evita’s life are presented in song and editorialized by the show’s narrator, Che.
