About the Production
Reimagined by Lloyd, Evita traces the rise and fall of Eva Perón—her journey from poverty to power as the spiritual leader of Argentina. The iconic score includes classics such as “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” and the Oscar-winning “You Must Love Me.”
