Photo Flash: First Look at Caroline Bowman, Ramin Karimloo and More in Vancouver Opera's EVITA

Vancouver Opera's spring production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's EVITA runs tomorrow, April 30, through May 8, 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, featuring stars Ramin Karimloo as Che and Caroline Bowman as Eva Peron. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, EVITA is the story of the charismatic and controversial Eva Perón, whose beauty and ambition vaulted her from poverty to power as the First Lady of Argentina.

Set in the politically turbulent 1930s and 1940s, EVITA follows Eva's remarkable journey from small-town slums to the tango clubs of Buenos Aires, through a career in B movies, and to the presidential palace on the arm of her new husband, General Juan Perón. Fearlessly aggressive in defending the rights of workers and the poor, Eva attracted the wrath of the aristocracy and the universal love of the people. Her legend lives on, decades after her death in 1952 at age 33, even as her role in Argentina's history is revealed with increasing clarity as time goes on.

Vancouver Opera's full-scale production of this modern classic of musical theatre will be conducted by Jonathan Darlington and directed by Kelly Robinson, with choreography by Tracey Flye. Also in the cast are John Cudia as 'Peron', Cooper Grodin as 'Magaldi', and Shannon Chan-Kent as 'Peron's Mistress'.
