Activist, suffragist, and venerated celebrity, Eva Perón captivated a nation as Argentina's First Lady. The international musical sensation EVITA chronicles her life and work, from her humble beginnings in the rural lowlands of South America through her ascent to fame, fortune, and untimely death. Broadway powerhouse Eden Espinosa stars in Studio Tenn's custom-designed presentation, a collaboration with the Tennessee Performing Arts Center built here in Music City, using the finest talents from Nashville and New York. Following its initial debut as rock opera concept album in 1976, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit stage production of EVITA swept the 1980 Tony Awards - winning Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, and others - and has been performed all over the world.

Espinosa was born and raised in Southern California. She is most recognized for her portrayal of Elphaba in the Broadway production of Wicked. She has also performed the role of the green witch in both Los Angeles and San Francisco to critical acclaim. Other musical theater accomplishments include originating the title character in Brooklyn the Musical from the original workshop through its Broadway run, starring as Flora in the Reprise Theater Company's production of Flora the Red Menace, and playing Maureen in the closing company of Rent, the final performance of which was filmed live for Sony, and is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Eden is also well recognized from her many television appearances on shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The 2008 Tony Awards, The 2008 Alma Awards performing with BeBe Winans, Law and Order, and Ugly Betty. Her voice-over credits include several episodes of Robot Chicken, MAD TV, and Sasha Caylo in Titan Maximum.

Currently, Eden is touring in support of her award winning debut album Look Around that has made it onto the iTunes pop charts alongside many of today's most notable pop vocalists. Look Around includes several modern Broadway hits arranged with a pop sensibility aimed at pleasing both die-hard Broadway fans and mainstream pop music listeners alike.
