I had the opportunity to receive complimentary tickets to the opening night performance of EVITA presented by Broadway in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. I was thoroughly impressed. I stood along with the entire audience for a much deserved standing ovation at the culmination of this fantastic musical. From the first note to the last, the music of EVITA is simply enthralling. And the dancing, costumes, and acting just add to a fantastic show that draws the audience in.
EVITA is a great girls night out or date night (especially if the guy is a history buff…or from Argentina). Make sure you plan a post-show meal or drinks though, because this is one show you will want to talk about afterward.
EVITA runs at the Fabulous Fox Theatre from now through Sunday June 8, 2014. Tickets are still available but they may not be for long. This show is THAT good. And now I can’t stop singing “Don’t cry for me Argentina. The truth is I never left you…”
Show synopsis:
Eva Perón used her smarts and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. Adored by her people as a champion for the poor, she became one of the most powerful women in the world — while her greed, outsized ambition and fragile health made her one of the most tragic. EVITA tells Eva’s passionate and unforgettable true story, and features some of theater’s most beautiful songs, including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” and “High Flying, Adored.”
