Evita - Malibu High School June 2011.mp4

The High School Theatre Department at Malibu High will present Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical EVITA on Thursday, June 2, Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4 at 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday, June 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the school, 30215 Morning View Drive.

Argentina's controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the president's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead at thirty-three. Eva Peron "saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military" was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. 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.

Reserved seats for Evita are $20 for adults and $15 for students/seniors, and can be purchased in advance on the school website, http://malibuhigh.org. At the door, all tickets will be $20.
