EVITA: September 13–November 12, 2006

Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Stunning Modern Musical

From the creators of Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor ® Dreamcoat, this Tony Award-winning masterpiece sets the story of Argentina's beloved, controversial Eva Perón to an irresistible Latin beat. The stirring tale of one strong woman's rise from poverty to power is a bracing journey of redemption, and a moving meditation on the perils of pride and fame. Fascinating history and riveting romance make for a captivating musical you'll never forget.
