Evita is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It concentrates on the life of Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón. The story follows Evita's early life, rise to power, charity work, and eventual death.
The musical began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. Its success led to productions in London's West End in 1978, winning the Laurence Olivier Awardfor Best Musical, and on Broadway a year later, where it was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical.
This has been followed by a string of professional tours and worldwide productions and numerous cast albums, as well as a major 1996 film of the musical starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical was revived in London in 2006, and on Broadway in 2012, and toured the UK again in 2013-14 before running for 55 West End performances at the Dominion Theatre in September-October, 2014.

That's what Madonna said in 'In Bed with Madonna'... then he left his wife for another wife then he divorced her! Stick with your man x

The great thing about this is that he sounds exactly the same singing live as he did in the film

[@Tiddybeth]

This is pretty bloody impressive! Antonio Banderas singing live. I wish I could have been there. I love the film version, never liked the live show, but to see Antonio Banderas sing live is a wow!

He was one of the best che's ever

Yes he was.

Mandy Patinkin had the best voice.

[@joey1723]

I think they were both wonderful

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

I genuinely loved the entire cast of this film, despite none of them being Argentine or anything close to it. Madonna related to Eva Peron (the character) in a strong way - she is also accustomed to being considered a whore and using sex to climb her way up and she seems okay with it haha.

[@maratzulpuev8898]

Don Antonio is marvelous singing this song. Perfecto!!!!

When I first saw this movie, I thought it was good that Armand found a new place to perform. I was a big fan of interview with a vampire.

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

HAHA wow! No longer Che, forevermore I will see Armand singing about his hatred for Eva Peron. Now we know where he went when he disappeared from Louis....as I recall, the time would line up (between Louis and Daniel Molloy) ... also explains why he is so displeased with Eva daring to die.

[@Jose-ls7uu]

Antonio genial, lo tienes todo, estampa, interpretacion, voz y oido envidiable, no me extraña que donde vayas triunfes, para que tengas algo que mejorar te dire que tienes que soltarte mas con el baile perder el acartonamiento y deslizarte con mas soltura y marcar mas los pasos, igual que hiciste con la cancion. Desde Asturias te lo deseo.

Why the exception to the rule? Opportunist, traitor, fool Or just a man who grew and saw From seventeen to twenty-four His country bled, crucified She's not the only one who's died Sing you fools but, you've got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you ENSEMBLE: Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve slave regina Peron Ad te clemamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia EVA: Don't cry for me, Argentina For I am ordinary unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are I think we all are Ride on my train oh, my people And when it's your turn to die You'll remember They find those cannons sing lamentations Not just for Eva for Argentina Not just for Eva for everybody So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin CHE: It's our funeral too Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money, no class, no father, no bright rights There was nowhere she'd been at the age of fifteen As this tango singer found out, a tango singer Augustine Migaldi Who has the distinction of being The first man to be of use to Eva Duerte

[@williamsiyanko4631]

Antonio Bandares is the best . He can sing dance act all in one ☝️

[@JudgeJulieLit]

This staged reprised scene from, and the 1996 film of Evita by far surpassed the Broadway show. Antonio Banderas (almost more plausibly Che Guevara than Che), Madonna and Jonathan Pryce singing and emoting (and the whole ensemble) were fantastic.

[@MrLaizard]

Actually that´s a caricature of the real Che...at the Perons period he was a spoiled boy from a rich oligarchic family, much later when he himself threw away his vicious familiar heritage and started travelling along the american continent, he realized what kind of revolutionary power lied in the ideals of justicialism (peronism)....in fact in his later years he visited Peron in exile disguised as a clergyman to avoid the surveillance of the fascist Franco Dictatorship who had isolated Peron in Madrid in full suspicion he could act as a communist agent (!!!).....

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

I never saw any of the live performances of Evita (I was like 12 when the movie came out), but I was surprised at how well Madonna and Antonio Banderas did - I did not expect her to be able to act and did not expect him to be able to sing. Everyone in this story is so cold and manipulative (not saying their real life counterparts were the same, but in this story they are cold). It is hard to connect to anyone because of that, but I love how nasty they are, and I love the slightly twisted morality. I love Jonathan Pryce as Juan Peron, too. He lends a gentleness to the character that makes you wonder if perhaps he has genuine affection for Eva. Again, maybe the character is written that way, but I've still never seen it live, so I wouldn't know

[@kingwacky184]

The way he looked in to that womans eyes that he was dancing with. I bet she loved him.
