Broadway Production of Evita Set to Close

          Evita, a musical chronicling the life of Argentinian first lady Eva Peron, or Evita, is set to go dark later next month. After 337 performances; the show, now playing at the Marquis Theatre, will go dark on January 26, 2013.
          Originally; the plan was just to replace the three principal actors-Elena Roger as Eva Peron/Evita, Ricky Martin as Che, and Michael Cerveris as Juan Peron, but that didn't really work out.
           The production team stated that they were having a hard time finding replacements to fill these talented shoes. And also; they were not able to coordinate schedules with the new cast members that might have been replacing the main trio. 
           As unfortunate as the closing is, there will be a US National Tour launched in September of 2013-starting at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
