Evita the Musical was originally seen in London at The Prince Edward Theatre in 1978 where is played for just over eight years. Tim Rice on the background of writing Evita the Musical: "Not all of the many fantastic stories told about Eva Peron are true; but any of them could be true - she was an extraordinary woman. Anyone writing about her has no need to exaggerate in order to give his work a little colour; the most straightforward account of her short life will contain enough material to raise the most sophisticated of eyebrows. That is why we chose her as the subject of an opera which we began writing in early 1974... When I heard the last ten minutes of a program about Eva Peron on my car radio one evening late in 1973, I was not immediately struck by the idea that here was the perfect story for Andrew and me, but I was sufficiently intrigued by what I had heard to make a point of listening to a repeat of the programme a few days later. My previous knowledge of Eva Peron was negligible. I knew that she had appeared on many Argentine stamps when I was at school, that she was good-looking and she was dead. By the time I had heard the whole of the programme about her, I was hooked on the story of her life. Not, I hasten to add, on her philosophy or her morals."
