Buxton Opera House’s 2024 community production of Evita was scheduled from 25 to 28 April. The musical, by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, follows the rise of Eva Perón in Argentina.
In a review of the Friday performance, Catherine Pugh played Eva Perón, Ross Clifton played Juan Perón, Luke Clayton played Che and Steve Sheppard played Magaldi. A second review of Friday named Maggie Thompson as Perón’s mistress. Another review listed Thompson to play Eva on Sunday; it described an evening performance, while the original 2023–24 guide listed 3pm.
The original preview also listed Sheri Cooper, Katherine Cooke, Rachel Taft, Molly Edwards, Charlie Wallis, Fred Denno, Nicholas Merrick, Christopher Sherborne, Paul Harrison, Beckie Timms, Hannah Goodwin, Clementine Wright, Verity Edwards, Emma Beever, Maria Carr and Olivia Beall among the cast.
Directed by Paul Kerryson, Evita traces Eva Perón’s journey from aspiring actress to Argentina’s First Lady.
The original preview credited support from Arts Council England under its Let’s Create strategy.
“This musical provides a fantastic opportunity for local musical talent, supported by the professional and technical expertise of the venue’s creative team. Our previous community musicals including West Side Story, Little Shop of Horrors and Rent have all been hugely popular bringing in new audiences to the iconic Opera House.” Paul Kerryson, CEO Buxton Opera House
