@@MrMartinportnoy It's called "artistic license," and the point is to establish Eva's successive attachment to men of ever-increasing status to satiate her own ambition. Accomplished here in two lines of dialogue with the first in the chain. Next, you're going to enlighten us that her driver during the Rainbow Tour never actually told her, "I'm still called an admiral, though I gave up the sea long ago."
Why did Augustin Magaldi NOT make a loud gasp during at least one version of "On This Night!" like I heard it in the original public release of the recording? It WAS NOT a mistake and we understand this because we can hear.
@GoddessofCoruscant True but the only problem that I have with the musical is with the character named Che was modeled after Che Guevara instead of the tipical argentinean people.
I saw it with Patti Lupone and I was energized for hours.
the way she say colonel peron... like dayum she knows what she's doing
Evita may be a lot of things, but she's DEFINITELY not boring.
The best interpretation for my money. Patti presents her as a woman on a mission to gain power, not as a sex kitten. Her message is bone-chilling.
I LOVE EVITA.... PLEASE GO ON YOU ENTHRALL ME
Eva:] Colonel Peron
[Peron:] Eva Duarte
[Eva and Peron:]
I've heard so much about you
[Eva and Peron:]
I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress (a soldier)
Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)
Only a girl on the air (Defending the country he loves)
[Eva:]
But when you act, the things you do affect us all
[Peron:]
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?
[Eva:]
Yes, oh yes
[Peron:]
So am I, what a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight
[Eva:]
It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand, I'd be good for you
I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
I won't go on if I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view?
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be, good for me too?
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
[Peron:]
Please go on, you enthrall me
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too
[Eva:]
I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply, I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you
That saxophone is so dangerously sexy

This is my favorite comment ever
Between this soundtrack and JCS, I think it’s clear that Webber and Rice were destined to write music together.
The Hamilton of the 80s
"your act hasn't change much"
"neither has yours"
Magaldi is shadyyy
That dialogue is the most ridiculous thing in the whole opera - Magaldi had been dead for 6 years when the earthquake charity festival took place.

@@phoenixshade3 No need for further enlightenment - it's already been taken care of in your first paragraph 😘
34 when she died; that still blows my mind

My first experience with a UA-camr in the wild
But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world.
@ESTELAPURDY How're ya gold reserves doin?

This peron sound Like rushian
Meghan Markle is that you?
Not as good as the film's version.. that one was sultry and seductive. This one feels just rattled off with no emotion.
