Thank God! Idina should NOT be Evita. I like her, but I really don't want to see her in that role.

I fourth Alice Ripley!

I fifth, sixth, seveth, eighth, ninth and tenth Al as Evita!

Take THAT Idina Menzel! :P

As much as I find a lot of Andrew Lloyd Webbers work to be less than ideal, I actually think Evita is his best score. It has some very clever moments and can be quite touching. I would like to see an intimate version or a minimalist version of this show and see how it would fare.

That being said I think that it would be wonderful to see a new face headline the show but I think name recognition of the leading lady is relatively important in this particular show.
