They have assembled a brilliant cast all with exceptionally strong voices. While it is hard to pick out any one as a standout my vote goes to Omar Lopez-Cepero as Judas. He commands the stage with both his voice and his presence.

The performances are skilled and rise to the operatic challenges of the roles. As Judas, Omar Lopez-Cepero exudes the requisite nervous and potentially explosive energy as he watches over his friend, his steely voice cutting through some insanely high octaves with ease.

The star of this production is Omar Lopez-Cepero as Judas, a role notoriously exhausting in its range, both emotionally and vocally; he makes it look easy and sound amazing.
-Third Coast Review
​
Omar Lopez-Cepero injects Judas with convincing passion, conviction, and inner pain while making him a conflicted, well-meaning character.
-Theatrical Musings
Of course the audience goes into the performance rooting against Judas, whom Omar Lopez-Cepero brilliantly portrays, but as his humanity is revealed, it becomes more difficult to despise him. We were able to witness his rage that led to betrayal, his weakness that led to unclean hands, and his remorse that eventually led to his downfall. Thanks to Lopez-Cepero's unrestricted range of voice, it was possible to feel his passionate depiction of each of these emotions.

"Omar Lopez-Cepero as Che Guevara, is a consummate artist. A magnetic singing-actor, he is at once cynical, confounding, revolutionary, critical, and terrific. He is the glue that’s central to sculpting 'Evita' into a fascinating story of hopes, dreams, gossip and intrigue. "
-Theatre Reviews by Jack Neal
"Omar Lopez-Cepero is a fine Che. He breathes fresh air into the production. He inhabits his character where the others act theirs, making Che his own. He also has a more-than-pleasant voice which can drip scorn if not revolutionary ardor."

Lopez-Cepero has great chemistry with Rosario. You feel the passion in the performance come through as Emilio is determined to make Gloria a star – never afraid to fight for what he believes in. One moment Lopez-Cepero is delivering comedic lines, and the next he’s giving a brutally honest depiction of what an American looks like, or what family means to him.
