About the Show

The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical about the life of Argentine political leader Eva Perón.

Presented by The Gallery Players in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Evita charts the rags-to-riches rise of the First Lady of Argentina, who won the love of her countrymen after marrying military leader-turned-president Juan Perón. Set in Buenos Aires, the musical follows Eva Duarte Perón on her journey from fatherless child to ambitious actress to the most powerful woman in Latin America—and, eventually, to a saint-like figure after her death from cancer at age 33.

Clever, Ambitious, Dizzying, Edgy, Great singing

See it if "Evita" is my favorite Broadway musical. I've seen it in London, on Broadway and on tour. I like it so much, it could see it twice in 1 day

Don't see it if You must see it

Absorbing, Great acting

See it if You love to learn about history through song

Don't see it if You don't like history

Epic, Intense, Intelligent, Great writing, Entertaining

See it if Powerful ballads and musicals based on historical characters are your thing.

Don't see it if You do not like emotional, intense musicals.

Epic, Intense, Great singing, Delightful

See it if You love the music.

Don't see it if You don't like over the top musicals.

Great staging, Great singing, Epic, Entertaining, Must see

See it if You enjoy musicals that are almost 100% sung only

Don't see it if You are not an ALW fan

Ambitious, Great singing, Overrated

See it if a diva/celebrity is performing as Eva or Juan or Che- to make live theater worthwhile. Otherwise, just stick to the movie version-its better

Don't see it if not an Andrew Lloyd Webber fan... but then again, maybe see it and find out why his music gives one an earworm (and i mean it in a good way)

Absorbing, Entertaining, Exquisite, Intelligent, Great singing

See it if You love true stories set to beautiful music. So many of the songs will be familiar and they are all terrific!

Don't see it if You don't love historical stories.
