Probably my favorite Evita and Cast Album of the show!

Buenos Aires, Evita: 1989 World Tour Cast Recording. Florence Lacey as Evita. 

I just love the ways she plays Eva and her acting choices truly bring the character out. The orchestrations are also superb! I listen to this about 15 times a day, and drive to school listening to it. I’m so cool……. 

THIS IS FIERCE AS SHIT.  

LOVE the way Lacey pronounces ‘Aires’ ‘Eye-reeeze”

The last “star quality”.  KILLS. 

I want a venn diagram with “Amazing Eva Perons” on one side,  ”Amazing Irene Malloys” on the other side, and “Florence Lacey” in the middle.

I love Lacey, but the draggy tempo and (with all due respect to the OP) totally 80s orchestration keep the track from greatness.

In related news, Karaoke Cave on 13th St. between 5th and University has this song in their catalog, only with the full Broadway version including the pause for Mandy Patinkin’s monologue. 

dpesick replied to your post: I will say this for Starlight Express

Isn’t this how it goes with all ALW? Day One: “Oh man, this thing is TERRIBLE!” Day 16: “HOSANNA HEY ZANA ZANA ZANA HO ZANA HEY ZANA HOSANNA!”

Truth.

This morning has been all about “Capped Teeth and Caesar Salad” and “Take That Look Off Your Face.”

What, the lyrics are in German? DOESN’T MATTER THEY AREN’T ANY MORE INTELLIGIBLE IN ENGLISH.

The editing of this video makes me want to punch my screen.

When this sign went up, I was so excited I had to take a picture. And apparently I was so excited I had to make a dozen prints of the picture, because that’s what I found when I went looking through my photo box today.

And when I was obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar, my recording of choice was this one, featuring the Indigo Girls as Jesus and Mary. Some kind soul put the entire live DVD on YouTube.

Is the revival of Jesus Christ Superstar going to be good? I really want it to be good. I was so obsessed with this show in high school, and the last revival was so, so bad.

A bunch of us were talking on Twitter today about Leslie Kritzer’s recreation of Patti LuPone at Les Mouches. I found some videos of the show. Thanks, myspace!
