CD Review - New Broadway Cast, Evita
WHILE we gear up for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar, Broadway is enjoying their far superior Evita.
It stars Ricky Martin as Che and the Argentinian Elena Roger as Eva, a role she gives a distinct Spanish flavour to, with even a Spanish version of Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.
Heart-throb Martin proves he’s more than equal to the task while British director Michael Grandage includes the new song You Must Love Me, written for Madonna’s surprisingly excellent movie version.
Verdict: 4/5
