One of the very few instances where I like the movie better than the OBC. But the OBC for Evita didn't do anything for me. Patti LuPone always sounds about 50 years old to me, Mandy Patinkin was tolerable but he just wasn't Che, and Bob Gutton, or whatever his name is, had a boring singing voice. (Well, so does Jonathan Pryce, but he just seemed to fill the role perfectly.) My only qualm about this is that they took "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" from Peron's mistress and gave it to Eva. Grr.
Musical Theater Person Sighting: Maybe this is a bit silly in a musical, but there ARE some genuine musical theater people in there. Antonio Banderas went on to be in Nine, and Jonathan Pryce was also in Miss Saigon and Oliver!
