Yep Evita is doing a new UK tour! Just been sent an email from ATG, it's touring next year! That awful Kenwright one ? Never seen it before but would like to give it ago. I thought Kenwright was good until I saw the Joseph set... Looks like a high school set!! Wasn't Evita good either then?

You clearly haven't seen many Kenwright shows. No they don't usually appeal to me, from what I've seen though they sets look cheap

I personally much prefer the kenwright evita to the dull west end revival

For anybody who has seen Evita before, would you suggest seeing it? The storyline interests me a lot.
I'm hoping they add more venues as I can't catch it at my local one

Oh I do enjoy a bit of Evita.
Hope the tour comes back to Belfast.

I had a friend fall asleep at Once. I wish I could have fallen asleep during the London revival of Evita though, it was ghastly. I wish Che had died at the end too, Marti Pellow was incomprehensible and spent the vast majority of the show walking backwards if I remember rightly.

The last (and only) time I've seen Evita was in North Wales a few years ago.
A Saturday afternoon in Rhyl spent watching a Kenwright production of Evita. It doesn't get much better than that.

I think Evita depends on its actors quite a bit. I love the score, i think it's ALW's smartest, and it's lush and interesting- but the book is very difficult to follow if you don't know either the show or the actual history before hand. In the hands of two good leads though (Eva and Che) who are good storytellers, and a good director who knows to pace a show well- it's a terrific show, very thrilling night in the theatre. Bonus points if they have good choreography ha!
On a another note Now i kind of need She Loves Me to be revived (and with those sets!) with a lovely leading lady so I can go see it live!

I am always here for an Evita revival/tour.
I think the pacing is really down to the MD - the score needs some oomph and gusto about it.

what revivals if a show would you like to see back in London. Doesn't matter how long they haven't been here or what show they are.
the revivals I would like are Company,Godspell,Hedwig and the angry inch, sweet charity and My fair lady

A revival, with tracks, of Starlight Express. No 3D races.
Also, Lend Me A Tenor.
I wish I'd seen Miss Saigon sooner, because I'd have seen it again, so I'd like that to come back but the screening and tour will have to do.

Another vote for a decent Starlight Revival, I'd love to see 'My Fair Lady'' back, a full scale 'Chess' and if somebody wanted to try an actor muso 'Spring Awkening' I think it would lend itself to the concept very well.

That said (and done): It's more effective to either report the duplicate thread or pop a staff member who's currently online a PM

I'm surprised there hasn't been an arena tour of Starlight Express in recent years. I imagine health and safety these days would mean insurance premiums would cost a lot.

I think it's time we saw a revival of Legally Blonde (preferably the Jerry Mitchell one), maybe not a West End show but atleast a full scale UK tour!
Also would like to see Oliver and Sweeney Todd again but they were only here a few years ago!

Was that weird 3D version of Starlight a success on tour? I don't know if people will invest money in the whole track thing again if the public interest isn't there.
