The rags to riches story of one of the world’s most charismatic and controversial political figures receives a new look, in an exciting, intimate production at Bucks County Playhouse, reimagined for by director, Will Pomerantz, and choreographer, Marcos Santana. “Evita” is presented in association with Bay Street Theater.

This new, dance-centric production of “Evita!” eschews the traditional setting of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved rock opera and sets it in the basement of an Argentinian tango bar. The concept for the Playhouse production was first seen and produced at Bay Street Theater in August 2018 under the direction of Pomerantz with Scott Schwartz, Artistic Director and Tracy Mitchell, Executive Director.

“Evita” stars Gabriella Enriquez (“Jerome Robbins’ Broadway” at Houston’s Theater Under the Stars) as Eva Perón, Pablo Torres (“¡Americano!” at New World Stages) as Che, Eric Ulloa (Broadway’s “On Your Feet”) as Perón, Devin Cortez (“¡Americano!”) as Magaldi, and Maria Bilbao (Bay Street Theatre’s “Anna in the Tropics”) as The Mistress. The “Evita” ensemble includes Michelle Alves (“On Your Feet”), Andrés Acosta (MUNY’s “Legally Blonde”), Marissa Barragán (Flat Rock Playhouse’s “West Side Story”), Zach Bravo (“Cats” National Tour), Edgar Cavazos (NY City Center’s “Evita”), Jimena Flores Sanchez (North Coast Theatre Festival’s “Footloose”), Edlyn González, Juan Guillen (“Mamma Mia!” National Tour), Edgar Lopez (“¡Americano!”), Amanda Rivera-Torres (Zach Theatre Austin’s “The Sound of Music”), Oscar Antonio Rodriguez, Madeline Serrano and Sophia Viscuse.
