Antonio Banderas for Perón then!!!! One can dream :-) Btw the idea of a full blown West End production at the Palladium or Drury Lane - possibly the two most prestigious houses in London - as a “pre-Broadway tryout” is hilarious (/naïve/condescending/insulting depending upon intent). It was not intended to be insulting nor hilarious. The point was that London would be a testing ground to see if the show is working/creating buzz enough for a Broadway move. This was tried by American producers with the recent KISS ME KATE at The Barbican which I think, given the less stellar results, informed them why taking it Bway might not be such a great idea. But Antonio as Peron? Would love that! |

Antonio´s wanted to do Perón, I know that. But there´s no way he´d get cast in the US given he is not Latin-American, and most recent casts of Evita in major US productions have been mostly or all Latin-American. Yeah, stupid considering how diverse Argentina was at the time, but oh, well

Very stupid. Exactly who would be gatekeeping this?!

Yeah, stupid considering how diverse Argentina was at the time, but oh, well He'd be brilliant - sinister and menacing, as Peron should be and, as you say, Argentina has always been the most European of Latin American countries with significant Spanish and Italian influences and heritage. |
