Hi,
I've been curiouslu searching and realise that the show actually went to Japan... sad there wasnt a cast recording. But for those who don't know I thought I might share what I find!

It reminds me of that revival which I REALLY wanna see and TOTALLY loved the cast recording!
Yeh! With Tetsuya Bessho!
Hes a great actor, and was on one of my favorite Japanese tv shows.. Majo no Jouken.
OMG! There IS a Japanese cast recording:

Can anyone tell me how I can buy it? It's not in the Japanese Amazon site which is a pain!
The slideshow is THRILLING, I feel like I've finally seen David Leveaux's production!
So is this the same production as the one that played on Broadway?
That is wonderful! It's the same set/lighting/costume design from the revival! How cool is that!? Did Leveaux handle this production as well?

This is the same production as the 2003 revival directed by David Leveaux, in the slide show you can even see they kept Carla's spectacular entrance during "A Call From the Vatican." It looks first-rate, I wish I could listen to the cast recording.
You find a friend who's going to Japan, load them up with moneys and a list of recordings you'd like, and hope they don't forget.
*wonders when she's next getting a friend going on holiday to Japan* April I think. Bum. ;_;

I have a friend who's goin to Jpn on Sun! I asked her to find the CD for me. Last time I was in Jpn (Easter) and I cudnt find this NINE recording... it's not even on the Amazon, maybe cuz it's not Shiki Theatre company! Hope she can find it!
David Leveaux has recreated the Broadway production in a couple of places including Japan and Buenos Aires, in which Elena Roger, the brilliant new EVITA in London played Claudia.
I would love to have the 3-D renderings from that show.
