TONIGHT
Upcoming Events at TCU Place
Evita, the Tony Award-winning musical, will be brought to life by the Fireside Singers May 15 and 16 at TCU Place. Audiences will be swept up in the drama, pageantry and passion of this spectacular musical production, brought to life by an all-star Fireside cast led by veterans Madison McLean, Trevor Wingerter, Sean Brandt, Jordie Hughton and Nicole Wingerter. Featuring rock-opera music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and brilliant lyrics from Tim Rice, Evita is the colourful story of Eva Duarte. Webber and Rice create dramatic controversy by juxtaposing the people’s adoration of her with the cynicism of her enemies. From humble beginnings as an impoverished, illegitimate child, Eva refuses to accept a destiny in Argentina’s slums. Dreaming of adventure in the big city, Eva’s beauty, charm and talent help her to rise above crippling poverty and eventually become Argentina’s First Lady – Evita Perón. Led by artistic director Marilyn Whitehead, orchestral director Bonnie Nicholson, choreographer Kelsey Stone, and stage director Albert Couture, join over 75 local talents and be transported to Argentina through song and dance in the story of Eva Perón. Tickets for Evita by Fireside Singers are $44 plus service charges, and available at TCUTickets.ca or by calling 306-975-7799.
