Broadway show “Evita” comes to Champaign, Ill. Champaign – The Champaign Urbana Theatre Company is bringing “Evita,” the Broadway rock opera musical to Champaign, Ill.

This specific show is being brought to the theatre because it’s an entertaining classic about the true rags-to-riches story of Eva Peron. The musical promises a great line up of young, experienced, and talented singers that’ll be more than worth your time and money. “Evita,” once opened, will play on Dec. 5 through the weekend, along with the following weekend as well.
