A rock opera by TIM RICE and ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER based on the life story of Eva Peron.
1 wouldn't exactly choose her as my number one guest at a dinner party, but she was certainly fascinating.
(ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER)
She had good and bad in much larger quantities than most people. (TIM RICE) In their distinctive style, the creators of Jesus Christ Superstar reconstruct the life and times of Eva Peron, the one-time model who became the First Lady of Argentina ... wife of the President, Colonel Juan Peron. They trace her life from humble beginnings, her ambitions, her ruthlessness, her success, and, finally, her death of cancer at the age of 33. Radio presentation by JOCK GALLAGHER BBCBirmingham
