Finally saw a live production of Evita. Have the Cast Recording and saw the movie with Madonna when it came out and loved it.

It was a very enjoyable evening. While still a college theatre, APU consistently puts on good productions with quality music at the forefront of every musical. The girl who played Evita was wonderful. She had a gorgeous voice and put everything she had into the role. The same can be said for the actor who played her husband, Pres. Peron. The two of them were definitely the high part of this show. The actor who played Che was good, he danced well, but he was a bit sharp at times.

There was an overall sound of yelling the songs that the whole cast had. They most likely were instructed to give it that tone, but all it did was make everything sound the same.

I would recommend any production at APU. They have a nice facility and their shows are exceptionally well done college performances.
