Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Evita is the story of Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón. It begins with fifteen year old, Eva escaping her impoverished life, for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, Eva becomes a starlet at 22, the president’s mistress at 24, First Lady at 27, and dies at the tragically young age of 33, after winning over the love of the people of Argentina.
