Evita might be my favorite musical. The storyline is based on the life of Eva Duarte who was born into the lower class society in Argentina. She managed to sleep her way to the top eventually marrying Peron who became Argentina's ruler. Eva's beauty and her program of giving out random donations to the poor made her extremely popular. The country's economy failed as did Eva's health. Evita Peron died in 1952 at the young age of 33 from cancer. She was revered as a savior by many, but scorned by others. Enough about the life and times of Evita Peron. The thing that stands out about this musical is of course-- the music. The music is sensational. Yeah, a movie has been made starring Madonna and I imagine it's plenty good, but why fool around with imitations?
