2011 | 2012 Season - Season of the Diva!

Our ninth season is a year of change, theatre renovations and growth. How better to mark it than a tribute to the great female Broadway Divas and a celebration of the roles they brought to life.

We are ecstatic to bring you a fierce line up of star studded theatrical ladies including the southern belle Blanche Dubois, the powerful Evita Peron, the Broadway belt of little orphan Annie, the hysterically odd duo of Olive Madison and Florence Unger, ladies of the cloth Reverend Mother Regina and Sister Mary Amnesia and never to be outdone, the incomparable Zaza!

Evita

// Type of show: Musical | Drama

April 11 to 28, 2012

Lyrics by Tim Rice, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. With well known tunes including Buenos Aires, Oh, What A Circus, Another Suitcase In Another Hall, A New Argentina, High Flying Adored, Don’t Cry For Me Argentina and Rainbow High

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the president's mistress at twenty-four and First Lady at twenty-seven. Eva Peron "Saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. 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.
