Evita (1979). The musical about the factual Eva Peron, from her humble beginnings to her marriage to the Argentine dictator Juan Peron to her early death, was a London hit before opening at the Broadway Theatre for a run of 1,567 performances, becoming the longest‐running foreign musical yet seen on Broadway. The sung‐through musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics) featured Patti LuPone in the title role, making her a Broadway star. Hal Prince staged the Robert Stigwood production, using Brechtian techniques, film footage, and expressionistic imagery to tell the often cynical political story. Notable songs: Don't Cry for Me, Argentina; On This Night of a Thousand Stars; Another Suitcase in Another Hall; High Flying Adored.
