Maybe you're mistaking the boot of the Stratford production (which has been on YouTube for years now) for Broadway?I listened to an audience audio bootleg of the Broadway production as a kid and I recall thinking it would be overwhelming to have a clear recording of it. Then I got a hold of the Broadway soundboard a few years later and I felt like miracles do happen.Then I discovered the Stratford production in decent quality uploaded in its entirety on YouTube. My prayers had been answered.T...

LOL. I'm pretty sure Patti doesn't express her opinions strategically in order to garner press and I'm even more certain she doesn't speak her mind so that she could entertain you.I appreciate her openness (because that's what it is). Like someone else said, "Ladies Who Lunch" is close to her and she does not so much own it, it owns her. Because she sang it every night, her understanding of it has evolved beyond what others might get from it so it's only natural to express how she felt about ...

Oh man. I thought it was just on my end. Hope this fixes things...------------------------Evita 20th anniversary national tour (1999) starring Natalie Toro as Eva and Raul Esparza as Che and featuring original staging. Prob the best quality video of the original opening exactly as it was in 1979 without any changes.

Rookie here. How do you embed YouTube vids in posts? I tried but failed. I Googled. Found a thread on here about video embedding. It didn't help. Apologies. Any help would be appreciated.

To be fair, Madonna was somewhat limited at what she could do with the role due to her and Alan Parker's kissing the Argentine president's arse at the time so he could allow them to film at the Casa Rosada. They both promised him that the portrayal on film would be more neutral in tone compared to the stage version. That alone sucked the life out of the role.I still think Madonna wouldn't have done much with the role based on her acting on other films both prior and after Evita, but who knows?

OK, now I can't get the idea of Gaga out of my head. I want to say NO, but can't deny she has the vocal chops and stage presence.Btw, what do you mean by the Madonna reference?

ALW is a gifted orchestrator/arranger but his revival orchestration left much to be desired. His original work is brilliant and I think it helps people connect to the show and the story more when it is not shoving the ARGENTINE TANGO in your face all evening.A clueless director who wants to add his/her own stamp to Prince's original staging can easily screw it up enough for it to be bad. So if it does ever return to Broadway, I hope they appoint Larry Fuller as director/choreographer. I've se...

Hal Prince..."There is a saying here, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ I believe Evita is close to perfect and I’m a tad embarrassed saying that, but it has been reflected in the comments of so many people who have seen it."Prince called Evita..."One of the most satisfying experiences of my career."
