EVITA CHARACTERS
From the Director:
“Evita” is the story of Eva Peron, born an illegitimate child and her rise from poverty to become first lady of Argentina. The story is told entirely through music and has several featured roles and many ensemble parts. Our adult chorus/ensembles will be singing and dancing from beginning to end.
A childrens chorus*( ages 7-12 ) is needed for an Act 2 number and will also be used throughout for several other songs and scenes.
- Eva Peron (Legit Mezzo, light dancing, 16 - 30)
- A beautiful, ambitious and power-hungry woman who rises to become the spiritual leader of Argentina by age twenty-six. A woman of few options, she uses her sexuality to build power. Vocally demanding - Patti LuPone type.
- Juan Peron (Baritone, 32 - 55)
- An officer in the Argentina army who rises to become the Argentine President. An opportunistic fat-cat.
- Che Guevara (Tenor, light dancing, 21 - 35)
- A political activist and the narrator of the show. A radical who isn't reluctant to ask tough questions and demand answers. He must move well.
- Agustin Magaldi (Tenor, 23 - 35)
- A handsome tango singer and former lover of Eva.
- Peron's Mistress (Mezzo, 14 - 18)
- Juan Peron's fifteen-year-old lover.
- The Company (People of Argentina)
