EVITA - Kentridge High School Spring 2013

[@MJK1965]

I must say that for an high school production: That was absolutely phenomenal. The vocals, the dancing, the acting. 10 out of 10, and I'm usually highly critical of this show. The Waltz for Eva and Che I have to admit was a wonderful adaptation. I hope your school continues to turn out more performances like this.

and now this Eva is on the Frozen national tour!!

[@paigeleigh2554]

That's wonderful news. X

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

Brilliant, she deserves it.

[@jpj65]

Incredible brilliant

[@nigelprance2540]

I've seen many high quality productions of various shows -- this rates at the top. Very talented cast with regard to both singing and dancing, especially Evita.

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

The lighting is very good. The effect of the light of a setting sun coming through the window during Eva and Peron's final duet was absolutely beautiful.

[@marcoqueme2868]

The women chorus did sing in such a beautiful way, exactly like the 1981 version, amazing!!!!

[@heranthawickramasekera4260]

for a high school production this is amazing. great choreo, vocals and acting...

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Eva's strong bond with impoverished children is also well-represented here. She was one of those kids, and she could relate very well.

[@gavinlogan1743]

My favourite musical, done spectacularly! Wow!

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Wow. Just wow. I've seen all sorts of professional productions and this high school production has them beat. The vocals were just outstanding, especially 'Eva'. Very large cast, too, which is always a plus. EVITA is an epic and benefits greatly from a big cast. However, I did miss the "Montage." Why was it left out?

[@chipbennett2845]

WOW, I what a production. Incredible performances. Eva is superb!

[@daniellelewis7285]

This is following the train my theatre youth group did. We went from Evita in 2013 to Wedding singer in 2014 . You guys did an amazing job on wedding singer. Robbies character was fantastic well done all.

[@Rickventura68]

This is absolutely brilliant!! A really moving and powerful production! Congratulations to all the cast and crew! What an outstanding piece of work!

[@paigeleigh2554]

Absolutely!

[@onefunseaguy]

LOVE THIS CAST, THIS SCHOOL, LOVE THIS DIRECTOR...SAW THIS PRODUCTION WHICH ENDEARED ME TO KENTRIDGE, ITS WONDERFUL THEATRE DIRECTION, AND THE AMAZING CAELAN (EVITA)

[@lena641]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!! Completely impressed!

[@paigeleigh2554]

What an incredible production! Absolutely wonderful! ❤

[@chriskeene6847]

A very good performance

[@anthonyhenrysmith]

wow what a great voice Eva has!

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

Great acting skills too. She's a real diva as well. Most Evitas take their bow in the final costume. This one goes for the full bling! She has some style.

[@danamoore6537]

beautiful so beautiful

[@giovannirastrelli9821]

Very well done! Reminds me of the current UK tour.

[@jameswyatt6648]

the speed is about the same as the original broadway production as it was performed onstage. the cast recording was slowed down compared to the bat out of hell speed that patti lupone had the orchestra perform it. she practically sped through the show every night. then again who could blame her if you have read or listened to her interviews lol

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

I've never liked the tempo US versions are done at. Especially on I'd be Surprisingly Good for You, which is supposed to be seductive, but in a lot of US versions comes across as a pick up line at a late night truck stop.

[@jameswyatt6648]

@@Benjiesbeenbetter. trut now buenos aires and rainbow high i get but too much is sped up i agree

[@jessicam9121]

Wait! I’d be surprisingly good for you… my fav part was short as ever lol but I loved it 🥰 anyways

[@chocolatesouljah]

That was an amazing Eva!

[@giovannirastrelli9821]

La Prodiga! Nice reference!

[@Studiemuziek1]

Wauw, loved it!

[@oijfbg]

One of the best performances ever made, IMO. Peron and Eva's voices were just perfect. Che' s was alright. The blond wig could be better, tough. :-)

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

They never seem to get the wigs right in these productions. A neglected area of the stage arts?

[@gazebo46]

Very good!

[@jessicam9121]

39:00 they sound amazing

[@bethhe8889]

Aw Che's little voice break

[@ジェリクルキャッツ]

Her voice is amazing!!! Is she Elsa??

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

Apparently so. Well deserved success.

[@chandanpuri2428]

The recording is what is making her nearly unintelligible, her performance is absolutely wonderful, better than the current US tour.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Yeah, the recording is not good, but you can tell that their voices and the production values are topnotch.

[@charleslee9000]

If you think this was a good production you need to watch the Felsted School one!!

[@maymaymayiscool]

A wonderful production! I watched this in preparation as my college/High school are doing Evita at the moment and I'm playing the role of Evita! Any tips? You were all very very good.

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

Way too late for you, but it may help others: get good wigs. Eva Peron is still such an iconic image that bad wigs are distracting.

[@charleslee9000]

If you think this was good you really ought to watch the Felsted School production!

[@Behaviordoc2]

Why, in this fine production, are the actors applauding one another?

[@lepetitchat123]

Evita's wig is very 17th century France

If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. Respect people's feelings when they've put in a lot of hard work. Offer constructive criticism if you want, but not abuse.
