Evita Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

directed by Jerome Davis
June 17 – 27, 2021
Dorothea Dix Park – 1030 Richardson Drive, Raleigh (outdoors!)

Eva Peron is from the wrong side of the tracks.  But she isn’t staying there long.  She’s on a one-way trajectory, and that one way is up.  If she has to kick a few people aside in the process, then so be it.  One of Webber’s best scores, this show contains “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina”, “A New Argentina”, “Another Suitcase, Another Hall” and “Buenos Aires”. 

Evita por Andrew Lloyd Webber y Tim Rice
dirigida por Jerome Davis
17 al 27 de junio de 2021
Al aire libre en Dorothea Dix Park – 1030 Richardson Drive, Raleigh

Eva Perón viene del lado equivocado de la vía. Pero no se queda allí mucho tiempo. Está en una trayectoria de un solo sentido, y ese camino es hacia arriba. Si tiene que pasar por encima de algunas personas en el proceso, así será. Una de las mejores partituras de Webber, este musical contiene “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina”, “A New Argentina”, “Another Suitcase, Another Hall” y “Buenos Aires”. Esta actuación está en inglés.
