Fuelled by unrelenting ambition and passion, Eva Perón rose from poverty to become the most powerful woman in Latin America. A beacon of hope to some and a threat to others, her star shone brightly as she captured the nation’s heart and divided its soul.
EVITA features an iconic score including “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “Oh What A Circus”, “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and the Oscar-winning “You Must Love Me”.
