This seven-time Tony award winner tells the story of Eva Perón, a poor Argentinian girl who grew up to become the country’s First Lady. She was 27 when her husband became president, and she devoted herself to helping the impoverished and working class. “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” is among the beautiful, heart-wrenching songs in EVITA. Bringing EVITA to the stage at ACT of CT is a labor of love for Daniel C. Levine and his cast.

Evita played its final performance on October 28, 2018.
