"Evita" - Revival 2012

Enjoyed seeing the Broadway revival of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita" at the Marquis Theatre. This is the first new Broadway production of the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical since it debuted at the Broadway Theatre over 30 years ago. 

Ricky Martin stars as Che, Elena Roger plays Evita, and Michael Cerveris is Peron.

The Marquis Theatre, opened in 1986, is one of the newest theatres to be built on Broadway. Located inside the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Ricky Martin as Che

 “He sings beautifully, dances gracefully, athletically climbs ladders, plays his role with a knowing sneer and elicits drools in his suspenders and tight white shirt. He even makes a mustache work.” according to one reviewer.

“Evita” is the musical story of Argentina’s controversial First Lady, Eva Peron.  Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she is a starlet at 22, the president’s mistress at 24, the First Lady at 27, and dead at 33.  Saint to the working class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military, Eva was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century.  Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop, and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
