Winner of seven Tony Awards in 1980, EVITA brings to life the dynamic, larger-than-life persona of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator, Juan Peron. Eva Peron, blessed with charisma, captivated a nation by championing the working class. She left a fascinating political legacy when she died at the young age of thirty-three. The exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences create a gripping theatrical experience as told through a compelling score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. One of the most popular collaborations between Webber and Tim Rice, this legendary musical features the memorable song “Don’t Cry for me Argentina.”

EVITA is producer/director Michael Rubinoff’s third production staged at the St. Lawrence Centre. His 2002 production of A Chorus Line played eight performances wrapping with a 95% capacity for the run. Rubinoff is committed to bringing to Toronto classic and new musicals as well as cultivating a new generation of theatergoers by staging high calibre, affordable musical theatre.
