Eva on the levee

Samantha Smart stars as the titular Argentine First Lady in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita, kicking off “A Season of Legends and Tales” at the Baton Rouge Little Theatre. After the runaway success of their summer production of The King and I, this new fall musical is sure to excite and delight. Bring tissues, because despite the famous plea,  “Don’t cry for me,” you might just shed some tears at this tragic tale. Opens Friday and runs through October 4. Tickets are available at brlt.org.
