*Spoilers* for anyone worried about these things...
Set - the curtain rises on a large wall with a door in the middle, which keeps all the action fairly downstage at the begining. As Buenos Aires starts, the wall rises in the air to reveal three imposing building facades which form three sides of a square. These move in and out from the side as necessary with the rear balcony moving forwards away from the bulding for 'Don't cry for me, Argentina'. Otherwise, they don't change during the show, but are fairly spectacular
A New Argentina:
Che comes out onto the rear balcony and spreads the Argentinia flag as the songs starts. Peron, Eva and the ensemble are down below. The songs ends with Peron putting on the Presidential sash as a large drop of his portraint tumbles from above. Not terribly exciting.
Montage
This is has been re-orchestrated and re-arranged, so bears no relation to any recordings. Peron and Che are on either side balconies singing their bits, while Eva in is in her sick bed centre stage, which occasionally gets spun around. She gets up and sings and dances her sections before dramatically vanishing at the conclusion.
I'm sure I've missed bits out, but that's the nuts and bolts version...
