Eva Peron pulled her way up through soap-opera and ‘B‘ movies to political and spiritual power. She ran ministries and unions, championed workers’ and women’s rights, and did millions of dollars worth of good works. She died at 33. Despite popular adoration, a later military junta banned her name, and her preserved body disappeared for a decade and a half. The elite dismissed her as a cheap opportunist ... the masses revered her as a saint.
This blockbuster musical – with its signature hit ”Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” – poses that paradox and pulses with music and dance, vibrant costume and the exotic setting of Buenos Aires.
