While I'm looking forward to this revival (and praying for a Broadway opening as well) I have to say that there are two things from the original production that I am going to miss: the screen and the revolving door (anyone who has seen the national US tour or the original production knows what I mean).

Question for anyone who might know: at the funeral, does the Eva actress sing the "Don't Cry For Me..." bit and then quickly change costume on stage as in the original, or is it more of a voice-over like the movie?

Kec- if I'm correct it began previews on the 6th (so last week)

I've heard this is a fantastic production with a lot of dancing (so a big difference to the original) and that Roger is great and has great chemistry with Peron (sorry I forget his name) which I think was lacking, in the movie at least.

How do they do the "Good Night And Thank You" number if the revolving door is not used? I didn't much care for the overhead screen. I found it distracting and not very well edited. I'm glad they're doing more dancing, but I hope it's not similar to the original Larry Fuller choreography. I found it to be rather amateurish.


Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
