Even though Evita — starring Ricky Martin and Elena Roger — was the top-selling show of the 2012 Broadway season, it closed on Saturday. Why? Looking at the show’s expenses tells a similar story to other large revival musical productions with big-name stars: there is a very small margin of profit.
It was announced yesterday that the 2012 Tony Award-nominated production of Evita, starring Ricky Martin (Che), Elena Roger (Eva) and Tony Award-winner Michael Cerveris (Perón), will play its final performance on Saturday, January 26th.
Tony Award Winner Michael Ceveris joins Ricky Martin in the upcoming Broadway revival of Evita. Ceveris will play Juan Peron opposite Martin’s Che and Elena Roger’s Eva.
