Janine LaManna or Natascia Diaz are pefect candidates for this role. Janine played it before.
And don't tell me they're too old. Because Madonna is almost 10 years older than both of them. And Idina is around their age.

Well seeing as how this is a production in London, I doubt we'll be getting an American who isn't already a "name" of some kind.
I absolutely adore press stories like these, because we all know the role is eventually going to go to some British chick we've never heard of.

Funny, I used to think she was latina in some early pictures I saw of her. See?
Anyway, Love4Cheno, no that Zipper Concert was not her best night. But your claim that she was off-key more than on is a bit silly. Besides, you said yourself her voice is just not your thing. If only other people would admit that instead of calling her a no talent. *sigh*

Posted: 8/26/05 at 4:50pmNo, Penny will be played by Kathy, the girl in the wheelchair from Diff'rent Strokes.

Posted: 8/26/05 at 4:53pmThey need to get Orfeh as "Evita". She's the one who should get the role.

Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:29pmIdina deserves it over Madonna!! Idina would be awsome.
#41re: Stand back Madona, he comes Idina ?
Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:34pmIdina would kill in that role. I say give it to her. Id actually wanna see this show if she were in it. Madonna would suck in the role. This show has to have someone w/ really good stage presence, I.E. Idina.

I really don't think Idina's voice would sound right in this role...
Don't shoot, but I vote Madonna. Despite her inability to handle every note on the movie soundtrack, I find her much more listenable and even enjoyable than Idina.

My vote goes to Idina. She really could capture the emotion and feel of the role better than anyone I can think of right now.
Power to Idina.

I'm all for Idina in this role!
I'd pay to see this.

You clearly have never seen Madonna on stage before. No one commands it better than Her Royal Madgesty.

IDINA! IDINA! IDINA!!! I hope Idina gets it, though I'd rather see her back on Broadway... When was the last time Evita was on Broadway?

I like Idina's voice . . . but not for this. The thing I like about Idina's voice (and which many BW fans do not like) is that it has an edge. It is not 100% clean. (If that makes any sense). I love her live stuff, and her concerts. I would rather see her to a 1 woman show than Evita . . . I just don't see her being a good Evita. Too much of a rock/bluesy edge for the role. As for Madonna, I thought she did OK in the Movie, but I don't really see her doing this live 8 shows a week. The Madonna slant seems more like a PR stunt than anything legit at this point.
