The seven-time Tony Award-winning musical Evita follows the rags-to-riches story of the First Lady of Argentina, who won the love of her country’s people after marrying military leader-turned-president, Juan Peron. Set in Buenos Aires between 1934 and 1952, the musical follows Eva Duarte Peron on her passionate and tragic journey from her humble beginnings and becoming an ambitious actress to being the most powerful woman in Latin America and eventually a saint-like figure after her death from cancer at age 33. Featuring some of the best-loved songs in musical theatre, including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, On This Night of a Thousand Stars, Oh What a Circus, High Flying, Adored and Another Suitcase in Another Hall as well as You Must Love Me, the Oscar-winning hit from the film. Evita is a must-see!

In a faraway kingdom, the green ogre Shrek finds his swamp invaded by fairy-tale characters who’ve been cast out by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the dragon-guarded tower, he will get his swamp back.
