| Eva Peron |
evita began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. its success led to productions in london's west end in 1978, and on broadway a year later, both of which enjoyed considerable success. a major 1996 film of the musical starred madonna and antonio banderas. in 2006, the musical was revived in london and on broadway in 2012. evita has had numerous professional tours and worldwide productions, and numerous cast albums have been recorded.

| Madonna as Evita |
i must confess that i've never seen this production on stage. it was watching the 1996 film version that i was deeply captivated by the magic of evita. i mean, how could anyone resist madonna? haha. anyway, evita (the musical) was nominated for best costume design but it failed to capture any awards (not that it matters).
the clothes and fashion for the various productions (stage and film) are nothing too elaborate or fanciful. after all, they are meant to reflect the world of eva person and they rightly do so. if you would like a detailed breakdown of the costumes, you can go to this site. the descriptions are down to last thread.
fash'on... BAM!
