4.3 Evita!
Manage episode 355035510 series 2919234
It's Evita (1978)! The culmination of Lloyd Webber’s collaboration with lyricist Tim Rice, this show offers an epic look at politics, celebrity, and gender through the life of a contemporary saint, Argentina’s beloved First Lady Eva Peron (1919-1952).
________________________________
We wonder:
– Whose Politics are These? What does the musical say about Argentinian politics, British politics, and maybe even North American politics?
– Is Evita a Saint? If Eva Peron is beatified by the Roman Catholic Church, what will that mean about how she is remembered?
– Power & Poverty: Do acts of charity enable or indict the structural forces that keep some people in power and others in poverty? What kind of social justice is Evita illustrating?
________________________________
You’ll hear:
– Mandy Patinkin, Patty LuPone and Bob Gunton on the 1979 Original Broadway Cast Recording
– Madonna singing “You Must Love Me” and “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina (Miami Mix)” from the 1996 Motion Picture Soundtrack
