Wakefield Youth Music Theatre has announced next year's youth musical at the Theatre Royal as the timeless classic, Evita.

With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Evita was first produced in 1978 and it charts the rise to fame and power of María Eva Duarte de Perón – a poor girl from Argentina who follows her dreams of becoming an actress.

The award-winning musical blockbuster, which originally starred Madonna as the titular role, features such memorable songs as Buenos Aires, Another Suitcase in Another Hall and Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.
