Evita charts the young and ambitious Eva Peron’s meteoric rise to sainthood. Set in Argentina between 1934-1952, the Tony-winning musical follows Eva Duarte on her journey from poor illegitimate child to ambitious actress to, as wife of military leader-turned-president Juan Peron, the most powerful woman in Latin America, before her death from cancer at age 33.

The events in Evita’s life are presented in song and commented on by the show’s narrator, Che. Well-known numbers from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical masterpiece include “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Oh What a Circus,” “Buenos Aires” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.”

This is a very dance-heavy show, and movers and dancers of all skill levels are needed! Please come to auditions dressed and ready for a short choreography audition, and ensure all dance abilities are listed in Cast98 on your audition form. All cast members will have some movement required, so please make note if you have limitations so we can ensure you are in the best role for you! (Limitations will not block you from being chosen for this cast as all levels are needed and some roles will involve movement only and no heavy dance.)

Audition Form - Please print and bring completed to your audition. Blank forms will be available for any unable to print in advance.
