Ricky Martin posted a photo of his score for Evita stating he's starting vocal rehearsals with a pianist. Can't wait to see him onstage when this opens!!!

As Forbidden Broadway would probably write a song about..."Stand Back, Ricky Martin!" :). Just Kidding. I agree this revival will be amazing!

I disagree. I think Forbidden Broadway would have taken Rainbow High and changed it into Rainbow Flag.

Ricky Martin:
I don't expect my Broadway show to last for long
Never fool myself, Boyband singers aren't that strong
Acting is so hard when you are not an actor
And eight shows a week, I really didn't factor
So what happens now?
Patti LuPone:
Another boy gig in another state
Ricky Martin:
So what happens now?
Patti LuPone:
You entered acting much too late
Ricky Martin:
Where am I going to?
Patti LuPone:
You'll get by, just unzip your fly
Ricky Marin:
Where am I going to?
Patti LuPone:
Don't touch Brantley anymore

^ Wow, you are just so, so CLUELESS. Ricky Martin has been acting for years. EVITA is not his first Broadway show. He played "Marius" in the original production of LES MISERABLES and to write him off as just a boy band singer when his tenure with Menudo ended over 20 years ago is MORONIC.
And as far as you're little ditty goes: EPIC FAIL.
STFU and Keep it movin'...

You've never seen a production of Forbidden Broadway, have you?
When Linda Rondstadt did "Pirates of Penzance", her song was
"Poor Country Star, can't sing above a high C. Try every night..."

The actual Rondstadt line is much funnier than how you remember it:
Poor warbling star
Can't sing above an A-natch'rell
Try though I might
I crack every night
Poor warbling star
Poor warbling star
If I keep clutchin' my cleavage
I'm at my best
Singing in chest
And simply faking the rest!

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

She also has a long line about hidden microphones that I can't quite recall but remember as being very funny. Something like, "more wattage power than General Electric owns."

I love looking at these pics that really have no clue if they are even real. I just see a score on a desk. Who knows if it's even Ricky's private home or whatever...for all I know it could have been taking somewhere and just posted as him starting vocal rehearsals.
Also, the score does indicated a version from 2010, so who knows, maybe this is old...ok I am done...just tired and now this makes no sense...
LOL

I just watched the VH1 Behind the music about Ricky Martin. I felt for him and boy is he very personable and likable. I really had no idea just how crazy famous he is throughout the world. I can imagine this version of EVITA with Ricky will pack the houses.
I am very excited to see him on stage. I think he will be amazing.
So proud of him ... Love to Ricky !!!

Here's the rest of "Poor Warbling Star" (as best as I can remember):
Linda: "Where are my mikes?!??
Where are my 36 speakers and 46 microphones
24 tweeters and 96 megaphones
More wattage power than General Electric'll..."
Chorus boys: "Help her get through!"
Linda: "Aaand! 24 chorus girls singing the harmony
26 chorus boys singing the melody."
Chorus Boys: "And so the only for her to do..."
Linda: "...is fake through my obligato
Squeeze the note make it thick. Ahhhh!"
Chorus Boys: (as she holds the note) "Squeeze it, Squeeze it, Squeeeeeeeeeeze."

So your theory, jovie, is that Ricky Martin posted a picture of someone else's script on his Facebook page?
I suppose it's possible . . .
