Evita

City Center revives Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 1978 pop opera, the tale of a local girl who makes good and weds a famous man who happens to be the quasi-fascist dictator of Argentina in the 1940s. Directed by Sammi Cannold, this version eschews the epic political bent of Harold Prince's original Broadway production to focus on Eva Perón's humanity, and divides the central role between two actors: Solea Pfeiffer as the adult Eva and Maia Reficco as her younger self. Enrique Acevedo and Jason Gotay complete the main cast as Juan Perón and Che, respectively.
