Evita on Broadway Background
Origins and Story
Evita, the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, premiered in London’s West End at the Prince Edward Theatre in 1978. It follows the life of Eva Perón, Argentina’s First Lady, from her modest beginnings to her political prominence, exploring her complex legacy and immense public influence.
Original Production and Impact
Directed by Harold Prince, the original staging became a landmark in British musical theatre. Elaine Paige starred as Eva, with David Essex as Che, delivering the now‑iconic song “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from the Casa Rosada balcony. Its innovative staging, compelling score, and bold narrative captivated audiences and critics alike.
Legacy and Revivals
The original production ran for over eight years and inspired numerous revivals. Major West End returns included the 2006 London Palladium revival and a 2014 Dominion Theatre production, proving Evita’s enduring appeal and cementing its place as a timeless West End classic
Broadway
Evita had two Broadway runs: the 1979 original (1,567 performances, seven Tonys) starring Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, and the 2012 revival (337 performances) with Elena Roger and Ricky Martin.
