It took me a while to find this thread again... LOL! I loved Elena Roger in the role! She was fantastic when I saw her on Monday, July 23!

That GMA performance was fantastic. Everything I have seen and heard of Elena continues to impress me. It also sounds very much live to me.

Remember, Patti's voice is often very grating/sometimes unpleasant to general/casual listeners.

Let's not,her singing in this role just isn't worth it.

She did good. The choreography was distracting and annoying. I may be the only one who thinks its self-indulgent and doesn't serve the piece well. Ah, well. Being the only one never stopped me before.

I still find her accent distracting. To clarify, it's not that I find accents distracting. I find HER accent distracting.

That is so awkward performing outside with all that traffic and noise. Not to mention, the elements!

You can view it either as a test of endurance of talent under any condition or a merciless public execution of the talentless that only the talented survive!

I still think it's just GMA laziness/a-holism in not establishing a proper performance space. Shoving them out on the street with random screaming people standing around is just weird.

I haven't seen her in Evita, but I hated her with a Passion as Fosca at the Donmar. That being said, it's a question of personal taste (as with every performer!)
