Evita

2008 2008

In an intimate staging of the award-winning musical Evita, The Chance Theater explores one of the most controversial and influential political figures in modern history — Eva Peron. Told entirely through song and dance, this daring story follows Evita as she struggles to overcome the poverty and despair of her youth and ultimately become the most powerful woman in South America. But is Eva’s legacy to be remembered as a beloved saint of Argentina, or the manipulative wife of a despised dictator?
