'Oh What a Circus' Antonio Banderas | EVITA 

Have you heard Antonio's take on The Phantom of The Opera? Check it out here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j9qLfyLowjg.html

I do love seeing modern actors who are "triple threats," who can act, sing, and dance well. Older generations of actors could regularly do this, but it's a rare trait in modern ones. Banderas is exceptional.

Antonio Banderas is perfect for this song, his natural Spanish accents the lyrics perfectly to echo the passion in the music and message.

HOW CAN ANYBODY LOOK INTO ANTONIO'S EYES WHILE DANCING AND NOT FAINT OR ANYTIME FOR THAT MATTER

3:38 that frown as he realises they are no longer praying *for* Evita, but *to* her. Subtle brilliance.

After all these years I still get goosebumps with any version of Evita but Antonio Banderas is the best narator. :)

Sometimes singing is not just about being able to belt a perfect pitch, especially for a song meant for the stage, there has to be a great amount of acting to make a perfect performance. Antonio is great!

I have never heard Antonio singing,he is just marvelous!

He hasn’t aged a day since the movie 20 years ago. Love this. Antonio is a fantastic singer and the best performer of Ché there ever was

The intensity he brought to even the quiet moments really makes this.

He was sick during this, and still gave an amazing performance.

I didn’t know Zorro could sing! He really has the range...

Antonio Banderos is a fantastic artist - sings, dances, acts, plays musical instruments. Bonus - fabulously good looking.

ALW should do a rerun of all the musicals he uploaded because some came in late...I think we'd all appreciate that

I have always loved Mr. Banderas acting, dancing and singing but the intensity that he brings to this role makes him perfect for Che. He can act more with a look in his eyes or an expression of his face than most actors can with their whole body and voice.

The first time I saw Antonio Banderas perform was in the movie "The Mambo Kings", starring Armand Assante. While he was a star in Spain, this was his first American film. I was a fan of Mr. Assante (watch him in Rage of Angels; he was a very bad boy in it, but oh so sexy and intense... but I digress), but the true revelation of The Mambo Kings was Antonio Banderas; when he was on screen, you couldn't take your eyes off of him. I knew then that he would be a major star. When he is on stage, you still can't take your eyes off of him.

This guy had it all….he’s one of my fav actor ever….had seen all his movies….

i really liked Bandares in this. I thought he did an excellent job between his passion and his portrayal. And I thought Madonna fit the role and did a decent job, too. It's a good movie musical.

Passion in his eyes can melt a women in a drop of a hat Having such meaningful looks stroke in 💓

The most handsome and charismatic actor alive today. Brilliant actor AND he sings

Sometimes actors become such pop icons you forget how great of a performer they actually were/are.

I love Antonio so much

I know ALW is done. But I really hope we get to see Evita shown at some point in time.

Had a lovely conversation this afternoon about the power of musicals. They tell stories in a different way, but they get you in the heart every time. Evita is no exception. Superb.

I agree, Antonio Banderas' version of ''Circus'' is the best of all I could find on RU-vid. He is real, not wooden. He tells the story in his song. And those dancers are fabulous, and that is the work of a gifted Choreographer. The most wonderful dance moves on such a small stage, strangely in perfect harmony with this amazing song that capitulates the entire story of Eva Durate and Evita Peron. Can we see the entire dance? I tried to count how many cameras were used, looks like a dozen at least. The film exists, nad this fam, we fans, want to see it. A 3 minute film to share with the world, please!

I love all the music from this show. Antonio is always fabulous.

I haven't known that Antonio is such a great singer. Great vocal. I just fell in love with his voice 😍

Antonio Banderas es todo un fenómeno. Todo lo toca lo hace bien. Estoy orgulloso de que sea español.

After all of these years, Antonio Banderas can still tie me up and tie me down. 🔥🔥🔥

Don’t give me this kind of hope. I almost cried with the notification as if you’d stream evita

Antonio is superb. There is something special about his voice - compelling.

Antonio is really talented and made the most in this movie. I loved his performance.

Man... I sang this song 14 years ago when I was auditioning for my middle school production. It wasn't even Evita, they just asked us to prepare something to sing. How I landed on this random song from Evita as a 12-year-old I have no idea.

First of all I'm all but flabbergasted ! I never new Banderas was such an accomplished singer. Accidentally I stumbled across som of his musical performences. IMPRESSIVE. His voice ranges from the "raw", to the pure, but to see him dancing really brings out his Latin/Spanish intensity. Look at his posture and his eyes, mesmerizing. He would be perfect in a "Paso Double".

I'm just amazed by his singing! It's just whoa.

Antonio Banderas is perfect

Stunning - one of the greatest all time performances. Brilliant Latiin voice inflections and a focused totally believable characterisation. Well done!!!

Absolutely amazing! Singer, actor, dancer, and he does it with style!

I remember watching this when it first came out on itv and I fell in love with him instantly. What a performer in everything he does!

Please, can we have Evita to watch !!! I love this musical so much

Genial escuchar la pronunciación española de los nombres argentinos. Qué buen número de Antonio! Felicitaciones a Andrew!!!

Magnificent. A tremendous performance. The sound in the hall must have been heavenly.

He is so incredibly talented! How can one man be blessed with so much?

Please show Evita. Thank you, for all the shows screening during lockdown Sir Lloyd Webber . Bless you x

If you missed the movie with Antonio and Madonna as Evita, find it! It’s wonderful!

Beautifully performed by ALL concerned and very well directed - everyone especially Antonio stayed in character

He has the charisma for the movie.the heroine who played evita role compliment him .i prefer him in movies than on stage

Can we also have "High flying adored" followed, please?

I love Antonio as Che in the greatly underrated 1996 Evita film. It deserved more attention, but was overlooked and the overrated Chicago was the breakout musical at the Oscars.

Grande Antonio Banderas, cómo siempre impecable, gracias por ser tan natural y la gente qué es parte de tu elenco musical 💖💖💖

So beautiful, Antonio and all the players.. Amazing...

It's 3.46am. Couldn't stay asleep. As soon as I realised that this had been posted, I had to watch. Going to watch again immediately.

I love how he dances with his partner, holding his microphone the whole time.

BANDERAS É INCRÍVELMENTE FANTÁSTICO 🙌🙌🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

One of my favourite performances of all time. Antonio Banderas is very charismatic

Éste hombre es versátil Y LO MARAVILLOSO QUE TODO LO HACE EXCELENTE.

Such a good movie. My 10th grade English teacher was obsessed with ALW so we had an entire unit dedicated to his works.

Every time I see this I want more. Bravo to producers and dancers.

An elegant actor, singer, songwriter and director. Eres tue, como el agua de mi fuente , Antonio Banderas!

Yep, this was the moment when I fell for him. Wonderful memory.

I want more of his singing, my word.

Confesso não conhecia está faceta de Antônio Banderas, fantástico, surpreendente, valorizou o hino, a produção e os colegas de cena. Parabéns a todos, um magnífico espetáculo. Parabéns

Please do Evita!!

Saw him perform Nine some years back, it was amazing! So glad you posted this to bring back the great memory of him singing on stage.

This live version has the best sounding choir during the salsa dance section. It is so passionate and gorgeous with the strings under it. It really allows the ensemble to shine.

Stream Evita Please!

Antonio sounds great

I just saw this and almost cried. Just remembering a few weeks ago when we were all tuning in every Friday to the next ALW. They made my weeks at home a little brighter. :)

Yes! Please stream Evita!!

My man! He does have some pipe to sing. My favoite actor. One of my few favorite male actors

I was amazed how good he was in the movie. He was absolutely perfect for the role.

Mi corazon, Antonio Banderas 😍😍😍

Is it so wrong to hope and pray that there are more Antonio Banderas out there. Who can, sing, act and dance. And oh so handsome.

Madonna and Antonio made the perfect couple on the film version of Evita.

Now this is real MUSIC!! The feeling and the passion and not forgetting the performance and the OG Zorro's deliverance... Something most of my generation have to listen to.. Bravo

When I saw Antonio Banderas in the movie my mouth dropped open. I was 26 and he was so talented and sexy-just, wow.

please make the shows available in Asia !!!!! I'm devastated its not available here

Antonio is completely sublime! So talented, he can act, sing and dance! Totally loving these! THANK YOU!

es una obra de arte él , su talento y belleza masculina

I hope to see Antonio in more musicals his voice is magical

Ever since Argentina made it to the World Cup Finals, I’ve been wanting to watch these clips from The Broadway Musical “Evita” 😀

Is that Elaine Page singing Evita's part??

1:33 Rrrrrrrosada - 😍 always wished I could roll my Rrrrrrrrrrs - total purrrr 😁

He was so perfect for that role!

Oh what a circus, oh what a show Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We've all gone crazy Mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit, that's how to go When they're ringing your curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Peron It's quite a sunset And good for the country in a roundabout way We've made the front page of all the world's papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments, she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" But that's all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy Our life, sweetness, and hope Hail, hail, oh queen To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve To you we sigh, mourning and weeping Oh clement, oh loving one You let down your people Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted, not much to ask for But in the end you could not deliver Sing you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through And she's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since seventeen October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help we were given a crowd She didn't say much, but she said it loud Sing you fools, but you 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 Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Peron Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia 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 So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin

Antônio, sempre maravilhoso!!

Antonio's facial espression and emotion had me unexpectedly in tears! Fabulous. Would have loved to see the show, never seen the movie but think I will now. Bravo sir.

Omg....I had forgotten just how charismatic Antonio Banderos was......I’m just a bag of slush. ❤️❣️🤪😍🥰

From the movie and on Broadway stage, it's perfection. Bravo!

Antônio Banderas é completo no mundo das artes cênicas! Além de muito bonito, atua, canta , dança! Não sei se é pintor, mas, provavelmente, pinta o sete!!!! Parabéns.

His voice has developed wonderfully!

I went to the same school as Elaine Paige. She contacted our headmistress during rehearsals, and practically the whole school went to see her in several buses. I sat up in the gods watching her with David Essex. I bought the soundtrack on cassette and wore it out!

Antonio Banderas Maravilhoso! Quanto talento!

Antonio! I remember him from Spy Kids and the Mask if Zorro. Nice to see him here

Wowww... He is really fabulous.... ¡¡Bravo Antonio...!!

There's no counting how many times I have watched this. The casting is perfect. I love historical based films.

JUST LOOK AT THE WAY HE MOVES ..AND THOSE EYES..

I’d love to buy a cd with him singing! He sings beautifully

He has it all.... Looks, great voice, great actor and dancer

Genial como ator e cantor. Amei 💞
