This multiple Tony Award winning musical drama is based on the true story of Eva Peron who leaves her small hometown as a teenager to seek fame and fortune in Buenos Aires. There she becomes a celebrated actress and eventually the second wife of Juan Peron, helping him become elected President of Argentina. Ultimately, she becomes a “true voice” for the people of Argentina before her death.
The show features popular hits “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “You Must Love Me.”
