* [[Dawson Casting]]: Unavoidable, unless the production opts for [[Playing Gertrude]] instead. In Eva's first appearance, she is 15 years old; she ages 18 years over the course of the show, dying at age 33.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: Following protests over the film's production in Argentina over fears that Eva Peron's image would be tarnished, including a smear campaign by the Peronist Party, the Argentinian government commissioned their own biopic aptly titled ''Eva Perón: The True Story'' with the intent of countering any perceived biases and inaccuracies by the musical. ''The True Story'' was released a few months before the film starring Madonna.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: In a special about Madonna, while talking about her role in the movie, Madonna's two backup singers (who had toured with her for years and probably knew her voice almost as well as she did) mentioned that the songs for the movie were quite a bit outside Madonna's normal range and to stretch her voice as far as she did to sing in the movie was a minor miracle.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: ''Evita'' was followed by a slew of European sung-through musical biopics about glamorous political women (Elisabeth of Austria, Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, and the ilk) narrated by a sarcastic male character.
