*breathes sigh of relief*
no offense to Idina, I just don't think she'd make the best Evita.
but that's my personal opinion.

I think Emcee bumped the old thread to post that news, but since we have this one as well...
I'm glad she passed on it, and I had a feeling she would. I think she'd be fantastic, but to be perfectly selfish...I don't want to fly to London!

If you read the article closely, you'll see that she didn't pass on the role, she passed on the audition.

If on a studio recording or something, Idina would be great. Pair her with Raul or Adam, and you'd have a perfect vocal Eva and Che. However, that score will kill her voice. It's best this way.

I was just being the messenger, I copied the title from Playbill.

At first I didn't see the words "Evita Revival" in the thread title and boy, did my heart stop for a second! I am so glad she did not pass on.
PEACE.

Sorry for the confusion guys, I was critiquing Playbill, not your posts.

and by the way..."Idina passes on Evita" she just didn't audition...it doesn't mean she would have gotten the role.

Reports on every move Idina Menzel makes are getting old, and I'm not even around here as much as others. As are Wicked threads, might I add. I guess it just comes with the territory.

EganFan this was a big talked about topic a few months ago. And now it can be put to rest by this follow up.
Anyway, WICKED threads are not a problem anymore - it's all those damn RENT threads.

I'm glad she's decided to pass, but nonetheless i think she's crazy....turning down a chance to play Eva Peron in a London revival of Evita..(that very well could transfer in the next five or so years, it's due for a Broadway revival as well)
Actresses world over would kill for that chance.

Phew. Im happy that she knows what roles she can tackle and what roles she wasn't exactly meant to play.

I love Idina, but I agree that I don't think she could play Evita... it's just not a part for her.
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

Does anyone else think there's a little publicity hunger going on here? Who cares.....It was only speculation to begin with. It's not as though she was offered the part. She just decided to not audition. Good grief they have to have an official press release for that?

I passes on auditioning for the role too, but you don't see that making the papers......

Yeah, agreed on the relief that she passed on this. I think her voice and type are just all wrong for EVITA. And I say that without any malice at all. Just my opinion, based upon having seen her body of work and having heard her sing live. I think she'd probably destroy her vocal chords trying to sing that score 8 times a week. And I don't think it would properly showcase her, either.
I hear London's got some great talent, though. I think it's a shame to "bus" in our actors when I know they've got some of the most amazingly talented folks around.
