PRIME TIME
Evita Coming To Albuquerque’ s Musical Theatre Southwest
By Prime Time Staff
The story of Eva Peron’ s rise from the slums of Argentina to the First Lady of Argentina is the premise behind one of the most popular musicals of all time, Evita.
Musical Theatre Southwest( MTS), a New Mexico community theater company, will present Evita, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from April 7 – 30. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30 p. m. and Sunday’ s matinee is 2 p. m. at the MTS Center for Theatre. Tickets are $ 22 for adults and $ 20 for students, seniors. Get tickets online at http:// www. musicaltheatresw. com or by calling the MTS box office at( 505) 265.9119. Doors open 30 minutes before show time.
Adored by her people as a champion for the poor, yet reviled by the aristocracy as“ trash,” Peron 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 figures, as well. Evita features some of theater’ s most beautiful songs, including“ Don’ t Cry for Me, Argentina,”“ Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” and,“ High Flying, Adored.”
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, said the show’ s Art Director Art Tedesco.
“ Evita is a big show with big personalities and a lush, beautiful score,” Tedesco said.“ I’ m thrilled to be able to stage this in Musical Theatre Southwest’ s intimate black box theatre where the audience can be so close. They will feel transported to the middle of the streets of Argentina to witness history.”
MTS will donate 5 percent of profits from the run of each show to a community non-profit.
