Musicals at Richter (MAR), Connecticut’s longest-running outdoor theater, kicks off its 41st season with the Tony Award-winning musical EVITA, playing July 5 through 19. Staged on the grounds of the Richter Arts Center (next to Richter Park Golf Course), 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury, performances take place outdoors under the stars Friday (please note no show Friday, July 4) through Sunday evenings, with additional specially discounted performances on Thursdays July 10 and 17.
ABOUT EVITA:
The third and final collaboration between the legendary Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, this smash hit pop opera follows the rags-to-riches rise of Eva Duarte Peron from fatherless child to ambitious actress to Argentina's popular First Lady and the most powerful woman in Latin America. Long beloved, she eventually becomes a saint-like figure after her death from cancer at age 33.
The Grammy-winning score features songs such as: "High Flying Adored," "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You," "Buenos Aires," "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "The Money Kept Rolling In," and "A New Argentina."
