Chucas represents parents and children engaged in dependency court
appeals. When he is not protecting the legal rights of his clients, Terry
Chucas enjoys attending plays and live performances. His favorite play is
Evita.
Evita opened on Broadway in September of 1979 after a successful run in
London. Despite a lukewarm critical response, the Andrew Lloyd Webber and
Tim Rice collaboration went on to receive 11 nominations at the 34th Tony
Awards. The production won a number of the ceremony’s most notable
awards, including wins for leads Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, director
Harold Prince, Webber and Rice’s score and book, and the program’s top
honor for Best Musical.
Evita’s strong performance at the Tony’s was hardly the last the theater world
would hear of it. The original production enjoyed 1,567 performances before
closing in June of 1983, one of the 30 longest runs ever. A testament to the
show's enduring popularity, Evita was revived in 2012 starring Elena Roger
and Ricky Martin as Eva Peron and Che Guevara.
