EVITA on Broadway

I recently attended a performance of EVITA on Broadway. My knowledge of the storyline was limited to previews of the movie that Madonna was in that I didn’t see. I knew two songs because of the previews but that was it.

The production absolutely exceeded my expectations!

 

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award®-winning musical returns at last! Eva Perón used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady.

 

 

 

Adored by her people as a champion for the poor, she became one of the most powerful women in the world — while her greed, outsized ambition and fragile health made her one of the most tragic.

 

 

EVITA tells Eva’s passionate and unforgettable true story, and features some of theater’s most beautiful songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “High Flying, Adored.”

 

 

 

The singing was absolutely incredible!  Caroline Bowman, who played Eva, captivated the audience with her range and stamina.

 

 

The supporting cast also had amazing voices.

 

Krystina Alabado as the Mistress and Josh Young as Che both gave outstanding performances as well.

The dancing was also spectacular and so much fun to watch!

 

 

 

This play really left an impression on me. It was beautiful and had the ability to transport the audience to a different era and culture.

 

 

You can see EVITA until March 2nd at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati.
