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.
