Evita - The Musical

I have fallen head over heels for Evita again... Michael Grandage’s dynamic production

Evita is the story of Eva Peron, the second and most famous wife of the Argentine dicator Juan Peron. She was born Maria Eva Duarte on 17 May 1919 in Los Toldos, a village 150 miles west of Buenos Aires. She was youngest of five illegitimate children. Her childhood was unremarkable, her family ordinary.

She died Eva maria Duarte de Peron, the First ladt of Argentina, on 26 July 1952. She had become the most powerful and famous woman Latin America had ever seen and she was mourned by millions - she won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor, whilst glamour, power and greed made her the world's first major political celebrity.
