EVITA is the award-winning Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical that centers on the life of Eva Peron, second wife of Argentine dictator Juan Peron. It has been produced all over the world in a variety of settings. Also, of note, EVITA was the very first show that FCT staged after moving into the Vint Hill Theater in 1996.

The Production Team for EVITA includes Director Dr. Harry Kantrovich, Assistant Director Drew Fleming, Producer Don Richardson, Music Director Jack Dusek, Choreographer Danica Taylor-Shook, and Stage Manager Natalie Foley. Questions may be submitted on this audition form. If you have any questions after submitting the form, please contact the production team at Evita@fctstage.org. We look forward to seeing you!

You will need to demonstrate your vocal range. A pianist will be available; you may choose to prepare a selection of 32 bars from another musical, but you also may simply sing a cappella for the Music Director. Come dressed comfortably for the choreography part of the audition. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please learn the choreography before your audition date and time. Choreography will NOT be taught the day of auditions. A link detailing the dance will be forwarded to the email provided on your audition form by the next business day. (If you are ONLY auditioning for Juan Peron and not accepting any other role, to include ensemble, you are not required to learn the dance.)

EVITA will be presented on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between September 15 and October 1, 2023 at the Vint Hill Theatre on the Green at 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton, VA. Tickets for reserved seating are available online at www.FCTstage.org.
