"First rate! ... Listening to
Ms. Miller sing is sheer delight!"
-- The Mooche

"Brown and her design team provide an imaginative slant on the material. Presenting the show as an intimate chamber piece rather than a bloated Broadway behemoth... the cast fleshes out the thinly written characters."
-- Back Stage West

"staging has a charismatic Eva Perón in Erika C. Miller, beautiful vocals from principals and supporting cast, and fine music direction and choreography"
-- Orange County Register

checkbox Recommended
"There is an abundance of talent at work here... [Evita] has never seemed as personal a story as it does here."
-- StageSceneLA.com

"I am very impressed with The Chance Theater’s quality of productions. It goes to show that theatre does not necessarily need an inflated budget and a huge stage to mount mega-musicals."
-- EDGE Los Angeles

Synopsis

In an intimate staging of the award-winning musical Evita, The Chance Theater explores one of the most controversial and influential political figures in modern history -- Eva Peron. Told entirely through song and dance, this daring story follows Evita as she struggles to overcome the poverty and despair of her youth and ultimately become the most powerful woman in South America. But is Eva’s legacy to be remembered as a beloved saint of Argentina, or the manipulative wife of a despised dictator?
