1978 musical by Lloyd Webber and Rice

Evita is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It concentrates on the life of Argentine political leader, activist and actress Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón. The story follows Evita's early life, rise to power, charity work, and death.

The musical began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. Its success led to productions in London's West End in 1978, winning the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical at the 1978 Laurence Olivier Awards, and on Broadway a year later, where, at the 34th Tony Awards, it was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical.

This has been followed by a string of professional tours and worldwide productions and numerous cast albums, as well as a 1996 film adaptation. The musical was revived in London in 2006, and on Broadway in 2012, and toured the UK again in 2013–14 before running for 55 West End performances at the Dominion Theatre in September–October 2014.

All About Eva: Los Angeles Hosts the American Debut of the Musical, Evita

Los Angeles is a city whose theater scene is typically overlooked, yet every now and then we are host to a production that is monumental. One such occasion descended upon Los Angeles 40 years ago this month when Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice’s smash production, Evita, made its American debut here in Los Angeles. The musical, based upon the life of actress turned first lady of Argentina, Eva Peron has since gone on to be performed millions of times across the United States and around the world. The first American production would announce the arrival of one of the greatest musical theater actresses of all time, sweep the 1980 Tony Awards (taking a total of seven accolades) and create a musical theater standard...and it started here in L.A. The Los Angeles engagement, however, wasn’t as smooth as the creative forces behind the production would have liked it to be with a significant amount of ‘drama-within-the-drama’ punctuating the proceedings. Here’s a look back at the history of the first American production of Evita leading up to its turbulent run at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
