If I was a billionaire I would pay all of them to put this on Broadway now and pay all their salaries myself. God bless Eden Espinosa and these majestic creatures.
a) Let's hear it for BEN CRAWFORD, singing the pants off of Che! This guy is a talent! So rare to hear a Che who thrills vocally the way that Mandy did. b) Let's hear it for EDEN ESPINOSA! Aside from the crazy good belt on the high E's (and the G!), she articulates the lyrics so well that you can even understand them. c) Let's hear it for the creative STAGING here! The departure from Hal Prince's original staging makes the whole scene active (an election, a wedding) and brings the themes of the piece front & center. This is about the way Eva unifies with Peron's political ambition to claim high status. Quite brilliantly staged here. Thanks for posting!
What a great performance artistically and vocally! The only “snag” I saw is in historical context... Women did not have the right to vote until AFTER Juan Perón came to power. It was Eva Perón who helped to win that fight for women. Oops. LOL! Otherwise awesome!!!
