Eva Peròn, about whom this musical was written, was a legend who, for a few moments in history, inspired a nation. This was a huge project for ACT and, as the lists above indicate, there was significant involvement from members of the PEI community who believed that it was possible for ACT to do it and who worked with inspiration and dedication to make it happen.
