New EVITA tour recording?

It would only rock if it was a complete recording. Though the rumor may have come from the fact that there is a 2008 Dutch cast recording that was made and is now not being released due to copyright issues.

What's the backstory re the Dutch recording?

wasn't everyone posting how much the tour sucks on another thread?

I actually love Elena Rodgers (Argentinian) that's why I bought the 2006 LONDON REVIVAL RECORDING...and she sounds grreeeat !!!

jaystarr, I recently purchased the London revival cast recording and was very disappointed. On the whole, I thought it paled in comparison to the original. I don't think I'll listen to it again; once was definitely enough.

I'm not a fan of Elena's Evita either.

I love Elena Rogers' vocals, but I'm not a fan of the recent London Cast Recording. The tempos are too slow (much slower than what was played in the theatre).

Actually for some reason I really like Elena's "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," but for the majority of the rest the accent's too much for me...like in Buenos Aires!

phantomo88- Thanks. I looked at the itinerary..it already played here in MA. in Lowell on 1/10 but for one day only?! and its coming back again in MA on 4/17 in Springfield, MA & 5/7 in Colonial Theater in Pittsfield ..not in Boston..

Why is it only 1 day on most of its performance/venue? Is it a concert format with no sets? ( the US TOUR..)

Hmm... I'm pretty sure those rumors are just rumors. With the way Sir ALW controls his holdings now, it would take an awful lot of interest on his part to make the recording happen.

The current tour is also non-Equity which is why there are so many single nights and split weeks. It's Troika - for better or worse, they've mastered the downsizing of touring shows. The current tour only travels and uses a six person pit orchestra.
