LWMS took to the stage to perform the well know Musical and Film Evita.

Evita is based on the life of Eva Peron and her rise from actress to first lady.

Evita has a small principle cast. The smaller parts of Magaldi (Ben Wellicome), who had lovely duet with Eva, and was very well played. Peron’s Mistress (Lisa Clifford) has a lovely voice and sang the well known song “Another Suitcase in Another Hall) beautifully and with ease.

Juan Peron (Ben Munday) did an excellent job both vocally and as an actor. Che (David Walters) the wonderful narrator weaved in out of the action flawlessly and gave a powerful performance.

Eva Peron (Nelle Cross) did an amazing job bringing the role of Evita to life with excellent characteristics and vocal ability. It wasn’t until after the performance it became known that Nelle was suffering with an illness and really showed the meaning of the Show Must Go On, a marvellous performance.

Props, Costume, Staging and music all came together bringing the performance to life. Excellent chorography performed by all. The Chorus added to a wonderful afternoon’s entertainment.
