This Che and Eva create a new 'Evita'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: History provides juicy material for theatrical events such as “Evita,” the pop opera based on the short and tumultuous life of the first lady of Argentina, Eva Peron. Then comes the writers’ imagination, in this case Tim Rice conjuring the character of Che, the narrator-conscience of the award-winning show. Original director Harold Prince further roiled the pot by changing Che from an Everyman to a revolutionary figure a la Che Guevara, adding another dimension to the title character‘‍s relationship with the people beyond the balcony.
