Tucson, AZ – April 1, 2017
TUCSON, AZ – As director of Arizona Repertory Theatre’s production of EVITA, Danny Gurwin said audience members should be moved when they experience the fresh, innovative approach that he has in store.
“I hope it will be a sophisticated, powerful, political, and very romantic production,” Gurwin said.
Most people who have seen this production elsewhere will likely come to the theatre with a preconceived notion of what their experience will be like, but Gurwin has a history for making older productions seem fresh again – without changing the integrity of the story – which is hard to finesse.
Experience passion and seduction in this seven-time, Tony Award-winning musical story about Eva Perón, who made a meteoric climb from the slums of Argentina to her role as beloved First Lady at the age of 27.
