Winner of the Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Musical. Broadway's hit rock opera of sweeping grandeur and romantic passion, Evita tells the story of Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentinean president Juan Perón. Immensely popular with ordinary Argentineans (but equally despised by the middle class and powerful factions in the army and political circles) Eva Perón rose from obscurity to political power and was eventually considered the spiritual leader of the country. Featuring such memorable songs as "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," "Oh, What a Circus" and "High Flying, Adored," Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the women herself. -
