Lyrics
by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Marti Pellow, one of
music’s most respected artists undertakes one of musical theatre’s most coveted
roles, when he plays Che in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita.
Following its
critically acclaimed run in 2013 Evita will continue to tour the UK into 2014, and is set to return to the
North East with a run at Sunderland Empire from 16-21 June 2014.
Telling the
story of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, Evita follows Eva’s journey from humble
beginnings through to extraordinary wealth, power and iconic status which
ultimately led her to be heralded as the ‘spiritual leader of the nation’ by
the Argentine people. With more than 20 major awards to its credit, including the
Oscar winning film version starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas, Evita features some of the most iconic
songs in musical theatre, including Don’t
Cry For Me Argentina, On This Night
of a Thousand Stars, You Must Love Me,
and Another Suitcase in Another Hall.
Marti Pellow plays Che, a character who reflects the
voice of the Argentine people; linked to Eva by destiny he brings conflict to
the story of Eva’s rise to fame.
As a
solo-singer, recording artist, and at the beginning of his career with Wet Wet
Wet, Marti Pellow has enjoyed virtually un-rivalled chart success, with over 25
hits and three of the UK’s biggest number one singles, including
the seminal Love Is All Around. He
has performed all over the world, and his West End and Musical Theatre appearances include The Witches of Eastwick, Chess, Jekyll & Hyde, Chicago and Blood
Brothers. He rejoins the cast of Evita
fresh from an arena tour with Wet Wet Wet.
