Evita, which initially debuted on the West End in 1976, is currently in the midst of its second UK revival, after many incarnations around the world to varying levels of success. As part of its current tour, Evita has rolled into the Liverpool Empire Theatre, and a sell-out crowd was on hand for the premiere performance.
Based on the life of Eva Duarte/Perón (played by Emma Hatton), a famous Argentinean actress who would become a political leader after marrying Argentine president Juan Perón (Kevin Stephen-Jones). As with Blood Brothers, the show opens by focusing on the eventual outcome (I won't spoil it here), before we travel back in time to Eva Duarte falling in love with a tango singer named Agustin Magaldi (Oscar Balmasada). As their relationship blossoms, her popularity rises as they move to Buenos Aires, only for Eva to leave Magaldi as she looks to soak up the benefits of her increasing fame as she becomes a model, then a radio star and later an actress.
