Official Show Photographs!

Once again this year, Mr. Pulitzer took outstanding professional photos of the production. (None of the photos were posed). Here are just a sampling from a night when Anna played Eva. He will make more photos available to us at a later date. I hope to get more close-ups of Katie's turn as Eva. (Click to enlarge each photo).

The role of Che is divided among three actors:


The first rung on Eva's ladder to power - Magaldi the tango singer:


Eva with black hair, early Act One, dances with the chorus:


Eva "B", played by Anna on Friday and Sunday, stands at her revolving door to success:


Lee plays Juan Peron, the target of Eva's intentions:


The featured tango dancers, Art and Justine:


Maggie plays Peron's ex-lover and has a wonderful solo here:


The Perons become heroes to Argentina's working class:


Eva becomes popular with the masses:


Peron at the height of his power and popularity:


In a compelling moment, Anna takes the balcony as Eva Peron as she addresses her people:


The famous moment of the show, "Don't cry for me Argentina...":


The terrific chorus is supported by a dozen lower school singers in scenes such as the "Rainbow Tour":


Peron is left to deal with rumors at home about Eva's past:


Mr. Lowell isolates different locations in this sequence using lighting from underneath the stage:


Despite her critics, Eva is confident and defiant:


At times, Che acts as Eva's conscience:


Eva's people pray for her health:


A striking photograph of Eva's decline:


Anna gives a stirring speech in Eva's final broadcast:


Cameron, one of three actors portraying Che, tries to sum up Evita's life in the final scene:


Jake as Che, (right), gives the brief spoken epilogue as Peron stands alone before Eva's casket:

A nice photo. They are dramatically lit from below the trap doors as a robotic spotlight is seen moving toward the casket up-stage. It's a unique way to end a musical. The audience sits in stunned silence until the cast runs out for the curtain call.
