THE University of Exeter Footlights proudly presents EVITA, coming to The Exeter Northcott in January.

The captivating story follows the rise and falls of a nation's hero and is based on the life of Argentine actress and political leader Eva Perón, who rose from nothing to become one of the most famous political figures in the country's history.

Following Eva's rise to become the Spiritual Leader of the nation, the musical features many celebrated songs including 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' and 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina'.

Evita features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice and is one of their most successful musicals. The show had an incredible run on the West End, Broadway and has recently finished a successful UK Tour.

With the biggest cast Footlights has ever seen and a fantastic 18 piece orchestra, EVITA is set to be one the biggest events in Exeter's theatrical calendar.

Tickets are available to purchase from early December at the Exeter Northcott Box Office.
