If they brought the London revival to New York, I don't see why they wouldn't just use Elena Roger.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Sherie Rene Scott would be a good Eva Peron...since she doesn't speak, we won't know that she's soft-spoken
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."

Regardless of who's actually already cast, Sutton seems a bit too young for the role to me, no? SRS is a bit too Merman-esque for me. And as for Idina, love her though I do, just thinking about her singing the score doesn't really thrill me. It feels almost Madonna-esque, but slightly more mature...if that makes any sense.
I also happen to like Che a little more Mandy-flavored...but I just might be alone on that one!
But if you kiss me,

Warning's fair:

I think Sutton could pull it off. And anyway in the beginning of the show, she is 16. And she really ages with her voice, not looks. So, Sutton and SRS would both work. I have heard Elena and I am not impressed.
I will be supprised if this gets to the states as its ticket sales on Whats On ranked it at number 18th which is awfull for a big show like this.
