Nothing was a success with that revival it was terrible

I didn't like Eva, but enjoyed the rest of the show, so I guess something about it was a success.

Who is going to play Evita? I still haven’t seen anyone do it better than Lupone and Loni Ackerman. If you can’t be better or match Lupone or Loni Ackerman then why even do the show? That show literally hinges on if the actress playing Eva can pull it off. If she can’t, you have no show. Doesn’t matter if the other performances and technical aspects are good. 
 

Same with Funny Girl. That show only works if the actress playing Fanny is truly the greatest star. Doesn’t matter how hot your Nick is. The show will tank. 
 

I can only think of a very select few actresses (literally 4 women ) in the world who MIGHT be able to pull off Evita 6-8 times a week.

Curious as to who these might be for you

Tina Arena ( aged out of the roll ) was spectacular in the Australian production ( Hal Prince original ) back in 2018/19. It certainly was a thrilling night of theatre, sung beautifully well.
