Jay Lerner-Z said: "Thank you.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's own political views are abhorrent to me, so I'm not sure I would trust their judgement on Eva Perón anyway.

There's areallycompelling character study in Jackie and her life is actually rife with turmoil prime for musicalizing. Now, whether or not Schwartz has a good score in him for it remains to be seen (this feels like something that would be right up Frankel/Korie's alley), but who knows!

Sunset Boulevard Cher as Norma Aug 19
