Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025 — Page 8

I have heard her sing and it’s nothing to write home about. It’s strange that my opinion of her is different from others, I don’t think she’s anything special, but this might surprise me.

I agree with you, but I felt the same way about Nicole Scherzinger until I saw her in Sunset, so I'm keeping an open mind.

And all this before the review/boxoffice has come in!"

I agree. I don’t think there’s any world in which this film lights up the box office, regardless of who’s in it. But, unfortunately when it flops, the “go woke, go broke” crowd will be out in full force screaming their fallacies all over X.

DCFMA is the least of my concerns. The question is, can she handle Rainbow High? Does she have the energy or the depth the number calls for?

I loved her performance in WSS. Because she is a soprano. When she has to belt live it is always a bit shaky. Such as the live promo clip of Snow White in front of the Spanish castle. That's just not her nature. Then it's high school level.

Watch one video on YouTube. Just one.

Her belt is extraordinary

I guess we're doing casual homophobia here now?"

That was said with love from another gay in a sea of gay.

You people know that "Brat" or "Bratty" is now a compliment. Cole Escola's curls in OH MARY are BRAT.

it seems to me that if she ISNT launching into megastardom via multiple lead roles in high profile projects than an attempt at leading a splashy musical revival is the perfect career move, no? She seems well suited to play Eva so I dont get the issue.

Some of Disney's other recent live action films have done poorly, even without their "stars" saying silly things. So it goes beyond that.

Certainly there will be those who don't see it because of what she said. But most just won't see it because it's not good. If that's what it proves to be through word of mouth once it's released.

Besides, most won't even have heard what she said, because they don't care enough about her to even know who she is.

This actress is young. When I've heard her interviewed she sounds more like a high school sophomore sitting around the table at the mall with her friends talking about banal things, but seeming to think what she is saying is profound. That's normal for people her age.

She will grow up though. And she'll realize that what she says will impact some people. Because there are those who don't have much time for these 'celebrities" who go in on personal attacks. Nor do they go in for people who just say silly things. And she has done both. She'll make her choice as to which way to go.

So "dehumanizing" people and wishing them "ill will" when they don't share your views is ok? I disagree. Also, what she said about her co-star (the prince) about being kicked out of the project and about Palestine after the October 7th slaughterings, while Gal Gadot is Israeli is fine with you? Wow.

Implying all of this started on Oct 7th and not after decades of Israeli aggression, invasion, and displacement of Palestine is really something...

Just because someone doesn't support a country being steamrolled by another in an attempt take over its land for themselves doesn't mean you support the death of thousands in an single attack. Since those attacks, 46000+ Palestinian Civilians have died. Where is the concern for that if you think anybody should be concerned about the isolated incident of Oct 7th.

I was going to stay on topic, but your post is so shockingly world alienated that I need to bring you back to reality. The fact is that Israel has never started a war. And Oct 7th is not an isolated incident. It was the final drop. And all these attacks on Israel are not just from the last century either, it dates back to the crusades. It is an islamic war on jews and the west that will continue till they have won and conquered the world. Don't be a useful idiot to them.

This is a list that shows the facts.

Now, back on topic. PipingHotPiccolo, I agree, we will have to see how it goes. See if she continues the path you describe or indeed, grows up and comes to her senses. I also have to add that it is important to separate the person from the artist. I still enjoy myself watching WSS because she is good in it. Respecting someone's talent does not mean agreeing with their personal thoughts.

Therefore I am open to her Evita performance, if she's great I will be the first to admit it. Same thing happened with Erivo in Wicked for me. I loved her performance and as long as I don't watch her interviews I can enjoy the film.

Current rumour is Raul Esparza for Peron? And Jamie Lloyd apparently charmed by Diego too who will be Che?
