For those of you who’ve been hiding under a rock the past two decades, you might not be familiar with the phenomenon, Evita. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a person who could not chorus, “Don’t Cry for me Argentina,” the haunting hallmark of popular music that never seems to elude even the least musically attuned. Singularly one of the most prevalent critically acclaimed musicals of a generation, Evita’s authenticity, power and humanity transcends to capture the heart in a sweeping dream of human experience. With more accolades to boot than a hall of fame rock n’ roller, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita, is its own kind of “superstar.” Following the real life story of political leader Eva Peron, Evita was originally conceived as a rock opera album, however overwhelming critical reception later lead to sold out shows in London’s West End and Broadway, followed by a string of professional tours, worldwide productions, various cast albums, as well as a major motion picture adaptation starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical employs an eclectic range of styles, from classical to instrumental, while rhythmic Latin American flairs can be heard in “Buenos Aires”, and “On This Night of a Thousand Stars”, ballads include “High Flying, Adored” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall”, and rock music adorns in “Oh What a Circus” and “Peron’s Latest Flame.”
