The cast of the acclaimed First National Tour of Evita is performing at Rockwell in LA to benefit the Trevor Project: http://rockwell-la.inticketing.com/evinfo.php?eventid=354884

The show starts with the robot- which should be cold and stiff. Then you get to see each person learn the steps in their individual ways. The 'away from the mirror' when everyone dances the combo tutti is supposed to be completely unison- even the cut dancers. It's a theatrical moment, the orchestra kicks in for the first time and the theatrical lighting starts and the audience is hit with a wave of huge perfect unison dancing. Then in groups of four it splits into individual style and abilit...

Actually, I think a total of 10 people are leaving in Toronto.

She was going to leave, and John Breglio threatened to sue the CW, and they didnt want the bad press, and took the offer back... what horse ****, John Breglio is the new David Merr...

I've seen it a couple of times, and I have a lot to say... The Broadway revival was particularly upsetting to me in its lack of energy - the cast members had good moments, but on the whole were lacking in a lot of areas. Nikki Snelson, while maybe not the most TECHNICALLY trained dancer, has the fire and energy to pull off Music and the Mirror. Lets be honest, the choreography was made for Donna's style and wierd body, and it isnt that spectacular anymore... And Nikki sings in SOOO much bette...
