The rise and fall of Argentian's first lady, Eva Peron, is played out in this sung-through musical which made Elaine Paige a star, was filmed with Madonna and recently revived in London with Argentinian power-house Elena Roger.
Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
