Evita - Stage - Theater Reviews & Features
Pittsburgh City Paper: "There are a lot of reasons I disliked the Point Park University production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita. Maybe the biggest is, I find myself having to stick up for Lloyd Webber, a man I believe has the talent of lichen. So yeah, I hate him, but still I'm left slackjawed by what's been done to his work.

This comment has nothing to do with Point Park University's production of this show. It is merely a reflection of my own personal experience with this show.
I saw the National Tour Company of this show in the Fall of 1992. First Broadway level performance I had seen. By some strange circumstance, I went with some friends from college and we ended up in the very front row of the orchestra. I was mesmerized. The production values, the scenes, the stories. Completely changed how I felt about theatre. It is hard to say how much that experience changed the course of my life but it is clear that Evita has very special meaning to me and my relationship to professional theater. Don't cry for me Argentina.
