The Wainuiomata Little Theatre is producing Evita in 2024. Evita is a musical created by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber that tells the story of Eva Peron, who went from rags to riches and became the first lady of Argentina.
This wonderful story has many themes that still resonate today. Eva Peron was a polarizing figure, loved by some and hated by others, depending on who you were. She was adored by the poor but despised by the rich upper class. She was the driving force behind her husband’s rise to the presidency, demonstrating the age-old adage that behind every great man is a stronger woman.
The show features many great songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”
