The May River Theater, the tiny auditorium that puts on huge shows, has done it again. The Tony Award-winning Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber musical Evita is currently playing at May River Theater through May 27, starring Livie Schwardt as Eva Peron, Daniel Cort as Che Guevara and Pete Zeleznik as Juan Peron. MRT mainstay Wendell McNeal will direct, Adam Rich will serve as musical director and Jody Dupuis will serve as choreographer.
