See it if Great music. Mostly great singers especially Evita & Che. Sets were nice for an Encores show.
Don't see it if It's an Encores production, not full staging.
See it if You enjoy the score to Evita or have never seen it before. Cast is great with amazing vocals.
Don't see it if You don't like Evita or shows that are completely sung through.
See it if If you remember Evita on Bway this is different in better and worse ways. Good singing and staging.
Don't see it if If you liked Evita when it came out late 70s early 80s as it is much different from story to its setup.
See it if Lush staging vs mundane choreo epitomizes this clunky, sort of 'woke' production Good work by leads tho Pfeiffer hasn't any high register
Don't see it if Webber's best music & Rice's workmanlike book are done no favors w/Cannold's re-think of the Evita persona Che as Greek chorus figure shines
See it if Driven gal taps what's she's given to ride the crest of fascism to political sainthood.Bold Shadow Evita choice.Great book and choreography.
Don't see it if Two-Evita concept works, but not when one doesn't reflect character's strength.Che's disgust absent (balcony), yet import given to wardrobe.
See it if Want to see different take on Evita. Solea Pfeiffer had a good voice.
Don't see it if It over 2 hr. with 1 intermission. All singing. Read more
See it if you like one of Webber's best shows with a wonderful Evita. I enjoyed the staging which complemented the singing and acting.
Don't see it if you like lavish sets or costumes or you do not like Andrew Lloyd Webber shows. Read more
See it if you love the score.Well acted,very well staged.But the heart is missing.I never felt sympathy for Evita.All flash, no heart.
Don't see it if you want a fully fleshed out production.The staging/singing are all exemplary, but what makes the show great isn't the sizzle.It's the soul

"Pfeiffer's stunningly sung, perfectly enunciated and smartly acted portrayal of Argentina's former first lady in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's devilishly difficult work should effectively help the actress skip a rung or two (or three) on her recent ascent to musical theater superstardom."

Score: 80% "Sammi Cannold directs this new incisive production of Evita that takes a deeper and more introspective look at the woman behind the glamour, starring Solea Pfeiffer as Eva, and a sprightly Maia Reficco as her younger counterpart."
