EVITA presented by The Evergreen Chorale

Argentina’s controversial First Lady is the subject of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s dynamic musical masterpiece.  As an illegitimate 15-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 22, the President’s mistress at 24, First Lady at 27, and dead at 33.  Eva Peron “saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military” was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century.  Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.  For tickets, please call 303-674-4002 or visit www.evergreenchorale.org.
