This seven-time Tony award winner tells the story of Eva Perón, a poor Argentinian girl who grew up to become the country’s First Lady. She was 27 when her husband became president, and she devoted herself to helping the impoverished and working class. “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” is among the beautiful, heart-wrenching songs in Evita. Bringing Evita to the stage at A.C.T. of CT is a labor of love for Daniel C. Levine and his cast.

  • "Directed by ACT’s artistic director Daniel C. Levine, what was old is now new again. With the precision of a plastic surgeon, he transforms a former seven-time Tony Award-winning musical into a stunning more youthful, more Latinx, and more relevant production."

  • “What’s especially unique about Levine’s vision is that the actual staging of his Evita is completely different from that of the West End, Broadway and National Tour productions of the same show. Here, there is a unique closeness not found in big, proscenium theater presentations which gives the piece a timely rawness and realness that is often voyeuristic.”

  • “Director Daniel Levine has successfully laid out his artistic vision of presenting the musical in a more stripped down version... adroitly inserts the character of Che into the center of the Perons’ orbit, which allows the story to be more expansive and finely layered.”
