Evita, with music  by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics and book by Tim Rice, charts the young and ambitious Eva Peron's meteoric rise to sainthood.

EVITA:  (Female) Must be able to play ages 15 to 33 while projecting both a toughness and charisma. She is a beautiful, ambitious and power-seeking woman, who rises to become the spiritual leader of Argentina by the age of 26. She is also a woman of few options, who uses her sexuality to build power. The actor playing this role must be a strong vocalist with excellent vocal staminal. The range of low E (below middle C) to a G above the staff must be traversed smoothly with a good foundation and technique.. Must be a passionate and strong actor who can move well.

CHE: (Male, late 20's to-early 40's) This character is dashing, impulsive, jealous, and manipulative. Che is a political activist and the narrator of the show, a radical who isn't reluctant to ask tough questions and demand answers. An actor/singer that must move very well with a high, rock tenor voice that can sing a low A to high B, falsetto to high F. Movement mobility a must.
