CTX Live Theatre Review

 Just a little touch of “Star Quality”! EVITA opens August 12 at Woodlawn Theatre  

 
EVITA, one of the most passionate and colorful musicals in theater history is gracing Woodlawn Theatre’s mainstage this fall.
 
Travis Treviño, Laura Wertz-James (photo: Woodlawn Theatre)Winner of seven Tony Awards, EVITA brings to life the dynamic, larger-than-life persona of Eva Perón, wife of former Argentine dictator, Juan Perón.  Blessed with charisma, Eva Perón captivated a nation by championing the working class. She was a starlet at twenty-two, the president's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven and dead at thirty-three.
 
This exuberant production creates a gripping theatrical experience and features Andrew Lloyd Webber's compelling Latin, pop and jazz influenced score.  One of the most popular collaborations between Webber and Tim Rice, this legendary musical features some of theater’s most beautiful songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” And “High Flying, Adored.”
 
Christopher Rodriguez as director and choreographer and Josh Pepper as music director, bring this spectacular show to life.
 
EVITA, sponsored by Margarita Man, is live on Woodlawn Theatre’s mainstage for five weekends only from August 12 to September 11. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. 
 
The Woodlawn Theatre is San Antonio’s historic local theatre, located in the heart of the Deco District at 1920 Fredericksburg Road, just south of Hildebrand. Free parking with security patrol is available. Handicap accessible.
