I've loved this musical ever since I saw the movie as a kid, in fact it was watching the movie that made me realise I wanted to take part in musical theatre so it holds a special place in my heart, and no matter how many times I see this musical the final ten or so minutes never fail to reduce me to tears. This production of the stageshow looks like it would be every bit as good as the one I saw in Edinburgh a good few years ago, though I think I'd prefer how the production I saw handled the balcony scene where she sings don't cry for me Argentina. In the version I saw they somehow had the balcony move forward so it was practically hovering over the audience during that moment, it made you feel like you were one of her crowd of supporters watching her speech.
I’m impressed! After 40 years of production shows they finally picked an actress that actually looks like Eva Peron...Patti Lupone is the best ever Evita but she didn’t look at all like Eva Peron...
@DJ You speak truth. Patti supported those notes all the way through. It's like listening to the entire phrase in surround sound vs on an iphone. No one comes close.
@@tiffdawn18 The best Evita I've seen, was Jacqui Scott in the early 90's tour, unfortunately never filmed. Acting and voice were both brilliant. I'll never forget het last note of High Flying Adored, a thunderous crescendo that left the audience stunned.
Emma Kingston’s voice is so sublime. Absolutely crystal clear and the acting to boot is just immense ... UGH I just adore her. Get her back centre stage of a theatre in the West End where she belongs! 👏🏻
I wish this could come to the US. Even though the only full version I've seen is the film, I've seen enough the Hal Prince production is the definitive one. At least the one with the least imperfections
I saw the original production in 1983 twice in the same week, with the 4th stage Evita, Siobhan McCarthy and her matinee stand in, Jacki Chappel. It blew my mind. There is a stern, almost brutal, aspect to the staging that suits the show so well. There are several recordings on UA-cam, some better quality than others, but nothing beats seeing it live. I hope you get to see it one day. Without "You Must Love Me" crowbarred in.
James. Are you serious? This staging is the definitive EVITS directed and staged with designs from the original London and 1979 Broadway production. There was a no unit set concept with small Dolly’s that would enter on and off with a unit of lighting in the floor. In act two a bridge flys in for the Casa Rosada. That is what makes this art and the recent 2012 bway revival trash with busy sets I think were inspired from the 1996 film to appease a younger clueless audience. The only thing that is wrong with this is the new orchestrations with YOU MUST LOVE ME should have been chopped. However this is the only material that is currently licensed. When I directed it in 2006 U must love me was chopped. Thank god we were able to also remove the 2006 dance orchestrations
I saw this production in Singapore last week, and I think you have to see it play out on stage live to see how the sets actually are quite smart and very effective, as compared to the Broadway revival one, and it just made more sense as compared to the staging they did on Broadway. The set made this show rather 3 dimensional, and it was very very interesting and it kept me interested and excited. It is really more than just a black box, its a very interesting staging and intriguing at times, this video doesn't really do it justice. Its not an "in-your-face" lavish set, but its one that once you see it will make you ponder after like "Hey that was smart“
musicaltheatergeek79 . Unimaginative? Ok, whatever you say. I buy tickets to be entertained, not to use my imagination. You obviously are very imaginative. Good for you. Go sit in a dark basement somewhere and imagine you are a worthwhile individual.
I was so happy when i got to the theatre and saw the "W" shaped lights on the stage floor with the circle in the middle, like oh its so good to see the original staging of EVITA. It has the passion that the show should have that the broadway revival didn't have
I'd love to see this show with its original staging and direction!! Hal Prince is a genius!! Just wish, you must love me was added to it. I don't feel it works on the stage. But it is a beautiful song. Just my personal opinion. I know many of you guys won t agree. But that's cool. It's good we all like different things xx
I went to see the Evita International Tour 2018. I spent 200 USD buying ticket and was looking forward to it. Somehow Emma Kingston did not perform in the show. I don’t know if it’s because there were not too many people at the theatre(it was a matinee), and they kept Emma for the later show on the same day. Anyway, the singer sang in that show(as Evita) sang badly, and didn't even take the show seriously. I was disappointed since I was expecting to hear Emma sing, and was mad that Emma did not go on stage and did not notice the audiences. The show was only okay.
It was the Understudy Eva...(wwtour.evitathemusical.com/cast/) 200 USD and did not see Emma Kingston? People at Kham Tickets(寬宏售票) also lied about it...
People from Evita International Tour 2018 did not respect the fans. They treated the audiences as fools. Thinking that no one would notice it was not Emma Kingston, but the Understudy Eva.
It was the Understudy Eva, not the Alternate Eva(google their meanings and difference if you don't know). So apparently they replaced Emma Kingston with the Understudy Eva because the theatre was only about half full. Emma was not ill nor had situations(not to mention that she's a professional and should avoid these kind of things), since she sang in the show later the same day.
Probably the best ever version is currently running in Melbourne with Tina Arena as Evita. Also the original Harold Prince staging just as this one. Only Tina Arena is a better singer and actress. And much better looking as well.
Juraj Kovac It’s the same production, it was just recast with local talent when they moved to Australia. And it’s not Hal Prince’s original staging. It feels like the 2006 revival masquerading as the original.
Indy Ella He was paid. He didn’t even direct the touring leg of the production, it was done by a stage manager from his notes, Hal didn’t really get involved until the production opened in Sydney.
@Thomas Dickinson and @ Amy Major This is so great to be cast in such a popular show!! You both must be very talented. It must have been so exciting to win the part. So great to put that on your resumes. Congrats!!
I actually like the song because I think it shows Eva’s heart. All through her life the only thing she wanted was to be loved. And I think this song open that up to the viewer. I understand pacing but I think it would be a shame to lose this viewpoint of Eva
@@princesslisamarie7860 If they used the original Lament as Eva is dying, there is a much more succinct insight which doesn't slam the brakes on the show: "The choice was mine and no-one else's I could have the millions at my feet Give my life to people I might never meet Or else to children of my own But remember, I was very young then Thought I needed the numbers on my side Thought the more that loved me, the more loved I'd be But such things cannot be multiplied Oh my daughter, oh my son Understand what I have done." Much more effective than the meandering sentimentality of You Must Love Me, and more in keeping with Eva Persons last known words, spoken to her manicurist the day she died: "I had to do it, Sarita, I had to leave. My mother would have had me marry someone ordinary. I could not have tolerated that."
Watching them trying to force Larry Fuller’s original “Buenos Aires” choreography into the revival’s arrangement is pure cringe and “You Must Love Me” has no place in Hal Prince’s staging, though it works in other versions.
Saw this original production several times in the past, but does it have the original curtain design too? I've tried to find the design all over the net but to no avail.
@Doug R Yes there was. There was an intricate, mural collage type of painting on a cloth that was displayed at the top of the show and brought back again for intermission. I believe it was a depiction of social classes.
Baby Jane Hudson But that’s how she is supposed to be in Hal Prince’s version. She’s supposed to be a cold caricature of a social climbing bitch, she and the other characters are Brechtian props to Hal’s vision of the show as a brutal political satire.
@@giovannirastrelli9821 👏👏👏👏 EXACTLY. And having Madonna play her in the (horrible) movie is the icing on the cake - the fact that she didn't get the irony of it... 😂
Hefin Rosser It’s supposed to be a “reconstruction” of Hal Prince’s original version, but they didn’t really pull it off because they were forced to use the score from the revival by licensing group.
Maybe a good Idea to cut down on the botox and take some singing and acting lessons.... totally dull! Even Madonna played and sang it better! Che's quite good, though!
Genevieve Naomi Ferré es el vestuario de la versión original de Londres de 1978 y la posterior de Broadway. La coreografía y escenografía también es la original.
Eduardo Pardo Garretón Gracias por la aclaración. Adoro aprender, conocer y ser corregida. Seguramente, como no me agrada tanto la interpretación de estos actores, quizás eso afecta mi visión sobre el conjunto de la obra. Gracias nuevamente. Saludos.
La coreografía y la escenografía me parecen impecables. Las voces de los actores y actrices también... Pero es algo en la mirada... la interpretación de la actriz principal... es como leer un bello poema con una entonación perfecta pero sin comprender del todo las palabras, el significado último. Eso es lo que percibo del elenco. Gracias.

She captures the rock aspect of this music
Great to see Hal Prince's original staging again. Sleek, sharp and flinty!
Wow Jonathan has always been a star here in South Africa but we are all so proud to see what great heights he is going.

I saw Jacqui Scott in the role too. She really was a powerful Eva.

Parker930 I think you may need to get your hearing checked dude. She’s a total powerhouse.
What a brilliant talent with an amazing voice - a true Eva Peron
Ich bin so glücklich da mit machen zu dürfen, auch wenn ich nur eine kleine Statistin bin. Es war eine der schönsten Zeiten meines Lebens 😍
I had the privilege of seeing them in Singapore and they were breathtaking.
I was one of the kid casts there it’s so fun
wow just wow, I am so happy that I was privileged to be in the show.

i watched it today. a really great musical. thanks!
You can have your opinion This is iconic staging. The orginal. You don’t have to like it
Gina Lariccia But it’s NOT the original staging! It’s a cheap forgery.
Evgueni Mlodik It was directed by Hal Prince... it’s hardly a forgery when the original creator creates it
Beautiful voice!
Interesting sounds and brilliant new take

I agree- I don't know if he'll see this comment or will be notified about it unless it's a reply to his original comment.
. I am not a "clueless audience", but I do prefer when there is a decent backdrop/set and props. I don't like the bare sets.

And a real looking CHE'
Betsy Hirschburg can you answer me? I know the stage lights were in the OB staging, but what does it mean, and why is it shaped like a W
Ya Boi Ayden As far as I know, the layout of the lights doesn’t have a hidden meaning.
The Spin Doctor oh. Ok I just don’t get it
I just saw them at the Dubai Opera yesterday, THEY WERE AMAZING
It's a different production and cast of Evita in Dubai.
Wait, really?
Ok, I just saw, the actor playing chess is different, my bad

You must love

WOW!! HOW I WISH I SAW THIS TOUR! NOTHING beats the original Hal Prince staging.
this is fantastic
Wow, amazing.
You must go to Brazil! Pleaseeeee

fantastic!
I saw them in Hong Kong and they were just breathtaking !! Maybe one of the very best casts ever !
Completely agree with you.

I complained on Evita The Musical Facebook, and they "removed" my posts... Really bad experience with the Evita International Tour 2018...
I hope they come to Dallas
I idolize Emma!!!
Come to Prague pls!
日本公演いきます！楽しみ(^^)
If the film were to be remade I would love to see Lady Gaga as Eva.
Probably the best ever version is currently running in Melbourne with Tina Arena as Evita. Also the original Harold Prince staging just as this one. Only Tina Arena is a better singer and actress. And much better looking as well.

What do you mean?
That is is basically no set at all!
Original staging from the 70s, I believe.
Could do with a update maybe? Looks a bit like a workshop in a massive blackbox drama room!
*James Georgiou* It's called Brechtian staging. Get a clue -- and an imagination.
She sounds like Robin Adele Anderson!
This so the 2006/2012 revival posing as the Hal Prince original.
