Casa Mañana Theatre continues its 2017-18 Broadway Season presented by Frank Kent Cadillac with Evita, November 4-12. Tickets are on sale now.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit Broadway musical Evita brings to the stage the dynamic, larger-than-life persona of Eva Péron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Péron. The story follows Eva from her young, ambitious beginnings to the enormous wealth and power she gained as Argentina's First Lady. Featuring the popular song "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," this moving and inspiring musical is not to be missed. This show is suitable for most audiences.
Evita stars Dee Roscioli in the title role, with Michael Hunsaker as "Che," Enrique Acevedo as "Juan Péron," and Seth Womack as "Magaldi."
