Evita

Presented by Worcester Operatic & Dramatic Society

WODS are excited to present Evita, charting the rags-to-riches rise of the First Lady of Argentina, who won the love of her countrymen after marrying military leader-turned-president Juan Perón.

Set between 1934 and 1952, Evita follows the incredible journey of Eva Duarte Perón and her rise to fame as an aspiring actress, activist and political powerhouse, becoming one of the most powerful women in South America. Aged just 24, a chance meeting with Colonel Juan Perón took her life in a completely new direction. Less than a year later, they were married and before long, they were elected President and First Lady of Argentina. Their political stance and presence were divisive but nonetheless, drastically altered the political landscape of Argentina for good, spawning a lasting legacy that is still present today. 

The riveting score of this Olivier and Tony award winning musical includes hits such as Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Another Suitcase In Another Hall, Oh What A Circus and the Oscar award winning You Must Love Me. 

Join WODS as they present one of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's most celebrated works!
