Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Evita - 9/9/05 Though current audiences may be accustomed to a different type of show, this musical holds up well as a wonderful piece of theater depicting a real life character and her place in history. Evita possesses a strong score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The current national tour of Evita is overseen by many involved with the original New York production and remains entertaining and satisfying, despite somewhat showing its age. www.talkinbroadway.com /regional/cincy/cincy130.html   (868 words)

Eva Perón - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has been reported that this myth of Evita's support for Nazism is largely responsible for the negative portrayal of Eva Perón in the Broadway version of the musical "Evita." When the musical debuted in London on June 21, 1978, the portrayal of Evita was comparatively sympathetic. But none of the other renderings of Evita's life were nearly as successful as the musical, Evita. Evita presided over the creation of the Eva Perón Foundation, a charitable foundation that built thousands of homes and schools for women and the poor, and ensured that, for the first time in Argentine history, there was no inequality in health care among citizens [1]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Eva_Peron   (5176 words)

EVITA EVITA is a film that reaches for the stars, but never makes it out of the park. More than some other musical, EVITA relies on the songs to explain the character and story, which is a problem since they don't do a very thorough job. In the case of EVITA, Alan Parker was behind the eight ball the minute he decided to cast Madonna as Eva Peron. crazy4cinema.com /Review/FilmsE/f_evita.html   (804 words)

Review: Evita Evita tells Evita's story almost entirely in song (spoken lines are few and far between), making it more of an opera than a traditional musical. When it first hit Broadway in 1978, the play Evita was described as the most cinematic of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals. Eva Duarte (or, as she was better known, Evita) was born in 1919, the bastard child of a man who perished when she was seven. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/e/evita.html   (896 words)

AbsoluteMadonna.com - EVITA The double-disc soundtrack to Evita -- which essentially is an audio document of the entire film, since there is no dialogue in the movie -- is an exquisitely produced and expertly rendered version of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's rock-inspired musical, yet it remains curiously unengaging. Madonna staked much of her career on Evita, gambling that it would establish her as a proper movie star and respected actress, as well as reviving her slumping musical career. While she gives a startlingly accomplished and nuanced performance -- her voice actually sounds like it matures over the course of the album -- it is impossible to listen to her without getting the impression that she is trying really hard to be credible, which makes it difficult to connect with her. www.absolutemadonna.com /music/evita.shtml   (289 words)

Salon: Sharps and Flats Throughout "Evita," she's cursed as a "bitch" and "slut" by her and Peron's enemies in the military, ridiculed as a talentless, social-climbing actress by the aristocracy and simultaneously reviled and admired as a brilliant manipulator of popular sentiment by the musical's cynical leftist-guerrilla narrator, "Che." Rice and Lloyd Webber's "Evita," which debuted as a rock opera album in 1976, is tricked out with ridiculously obvious political and media commentary ("Evita" makes the bold statement that politics is a form of theater). OK, I admit it, I have a little trouble taking "Evita" seriously; I can't forget — nor do I want to — "SCTV's" "Evita" parody "Indira," with Andrea Martin frugging in a sari as Indira Gandhi. archive.salon.com /music/music961114.html   (367 words)

Evita, a Beothuck Street Players Production The story deals with the political situations, power relationships and the means by which Eva Peron became the beloved Evita, achieving psuedo-sainthood in her homeland.

Evita But while Juan takes care of the business of running the country, Eva, or Evita as she becomes known, wins the people's hearts through a combination of wonderful public relations and an apparently sincere attempt to ease the suffering of her fellow Argentineans. Also, the stunning shot of hundreds of mourners queuing to pay their last respects to their beloved Evita in a crowded mausoleum is spectacular. This is a bit misleading, I suppose, because as a musical composition on it's own it is a masterful piece of work. www.moviemusicuk.us /evita.htm   (1059 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Evita [1997]: Video The film Evita has a similar quality--it's visually astonishing but emotionally distant, and benefits greatly from the singing commentary of Ché (Antonia Banderas), who serves as a passionate chorus to guide the viewer through the elaborate parade of history.
