A funny, bold, riotous and anarchic musical about the world’s first ever female President of a country - Isabel Perón.
The greatest story never told of the first ever female president of a country in the history of the world…During Isabel Perón’s time in power (before she was overthrown in a military coup), Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice were writing their blockbuster musical about her dead husband’s even deader ex-wife. And now, nobody remembers Isabel. Coincidence?
Sh!t Theatre are here to right that wrong. EVITA TOO tells Isabel’s story – and the story of Sh!t Theatre, who travel across Argentina and Spain in search of the mysterious former president. While Sh!t Theatre endeavour to write a musical to match Evita, their lives surprisingly and tragically intertwine with Isabel’s. Truth! Justice! Songs! Wizards?! Yes, wizards. And if you play your cards right, naked roller-skating.
