“Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” is a song from the 1978 musical Evita. The song was written and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice while they were researching the life of Argentinian leader Eva Perón. The song appears at the opening and near the end of the show, initially as the spirit of the dead Eva exhorting the people of Argentina not to mourn her, and finally during Eva’s speech from the balcony of the Casa Rosada. The song was originally titled “It’s Only Your Lover Returning.” It finally became “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” a title drawn from Evita’s actual epitaph on her tomb in Buenos Aires.
The correct answer is Evita.
