And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes

Open up the sky, let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud, you know I love you

For crying out loud, you know I love you

For crying out loud, you know I love you

PETER PAN

Birmingham Hippodrome, Thursday 20th December, 2018

  Birmingham’s Hippodrome theatre can be counted on to stage the biggest, brightest pantomime year after year and this year is no exception.  Peter Panis a bit of a weird one, as pantos go, because we expect to see certain key plot points from the J M Barrie play along with traditional panto elements as befit the format.  There is no…

Some thoughts on Evita

So tonight I saw the West End Tour of Evita at the King’s Theatre in Glasgow, and I decided to write some of the things I liked about it so enjoy 😂☺️

Kellie Gnauck was amazing as Evita - her voice had a beautiful quality to it, being both powerful but also very light and gentle as required. Particularly towards the end, she was so emotional and raw, and she brought me close to tears

Gian Marco Schiaretti was a perfect Che - even from as far back as I was sitting his facial expressions told exactly how the character was feeling at every given moment. I also loved the way he interacted with the ensemble, particularly during Another Suitcase in Another Hall (he protected the mistress from the advances of the other soldiers, standing up to one of them in particular and it was so attractive) His voice was absolutely stellar, especially during And The Money Kept Rolling In (and Out)

Jeremy Secomb was a good Perón, particularly during the finale (his broken “so what happens now?” made me cry)

Cristina Hoey was brilliant in Another Suitcase in Another Hall (which is my favourite song), her voice was very youthful and she acted the part perfectly, very sad and resigned after Eva’s harsh words (side note: given that this is the first time I’ve seen it live I hadn’t heard that little joining section before, and it really turned me against Eva as a character because she was so unnecessarily cruel - I liked it a lot because it stopped her character from being perfect, and even though she was brilliant in standing up to the establishment with her “the actress hasn’t learned the lines you want to hear” the cruel dismissal of the old mistress made sure that you knew she wasn’t really the “Santa Evita” her descamisados made her out to be) (that was a really long side note)

Oh What a Circus was great - Angry Che singing his “sing you fools” line was brilliant

In the Eva and Magaldi sequence, the lights went red when Eva shouted “Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!”, which was just so cool

I also liked that Eva was a brunette back in her hometown but after her move to Buenos Aires she became a blonde

Speaking of Buenos Aires, the dancing in that scene was LIT, 10/10

The staging of Goodnight and Thank You was great, as after every new suitor Eva would exit the stage and then re-enter wearing something slightly more expensive, which was a good way of showing her ascent through Argentine society - also all of her suitors would kiss and touch her in the same way which I thought kind of showed how she saw them all the same, as just another way to get to where she wanted to be

I’d Be Surprisingly Good for You is one of my favourite parts of the show and it was just as good as I’d hoped - I also didn’t realised that their “are you here on your own?” parts were lies and that they just ditched their dates at the party (felt bad for the dates but I did like that touch - also loved how Eva made her ex-date hold her wine glass as she told Perón that she was here alone)

I flinched every time an insult was thrown in Perón’s Latest Flame, and I also really liked Che’s first real interaction with Eva - she totally shut him down (“is that the extent of your interest in me? Shows how futile acting must be”)

A New Argentina was a brilliant Act 1 closer -I already disliked the officers for their attitudes in Perón’s Latest Flame, but they beat up my boi Che and so I definitely hate them now. Evita was exceptionally good in this scene, and also I love the lyrics “but would I have done what I did if I hadn’t thought, if I hadn’t known, we would take the country?”

Don’t Cry for Me was so much better than I expected it to be - it started off gentle and quiet, and built gradually to a powerful ending which gave me chills - her costume was also stunning

High Flying, Adored was also great, staged very simply but very effective

Rainbow High is one of my favourite songs and it was done so well, I liked the way the ensemble used the mirrors to reflect the spotlights back onto Eva

Rainbow Tour was surprisingly one of my favourite parts of the show, my heart broke for Eva at the Italy stop, when she stormed out distraught, crying “did you hear that? They called me a whore!” I also liked the foreshadowing of her illness in France (she clutched at her side and cried out a little) Sassy Eva was brilliant in England with her “who the hell does the King of England think he is?” and her declaration that Argentina could do without England

I was very much here for Eva standing up to the middle classes she despised so much - she was smiling and posing for pictures with the aristocratic women who’d been talking bad about her, as she sang her “as you should have asked her to” lines (I live for the saltiness)

And The Money Kept Rolling In (and Out) was probably the highlight of the show for me - everyone acted and sang the hell out of that scene, and it was brilliantly staged (I got chills again)

The little girl who sang the solo in Santa Evita was absolutely perfect and had such a beautiful voice

Waltz for Evita and Che was so good, especially at the end when Eva collapsed on the floor - Che was reaching towards her, as though he wanted to help her up but was frozen in shock

The finale was heartbreaking - You Must Love Me had me nearly in tears, with Eva clutching at Perón’s arm as though for dear life, and as I said earlier Perón’s “so what happens now?” completely broke me. The climax of the show was haunting and beautiful and I absolutely loved it

Overall I had an amazing time at the show, and I would definitely see it again. Everything was done so well, and it definitely surpassed my already-quite-high expectations. And finally, shoutout to my little cousin who was one of the children’s chorus - she was great ❤️

ETA: I completely forgot to mention how AWESOME the orchestra was

[londontheatre]

Evita, a classic in the Lloyd Webber canon, is revised by Bill Kenwright Ltd for the West End’s Phoenix Theatre. The story is set in Argentina and focuses on the life of political leader Eva Perón (Emma Hatton), with the musical opening at her death and leading us through the years of power and relationships which leads to her defeat, narrated by Che (Gina Marco Schiaretti), a member of the public and witness to the political uprise.

Hatton was last seen playing the green lady in Wicked, and performed phenomenally in the role. Whilst her talent is still very much evident in this production, there seems to be less material for her to get her teeth into. Scenes oddly transition from one to another, as we wait for the clunky set of cardboard pillars and staircases to move into position, not quite fitting together. This is an ensemble piece, yet the ensemble mostly appear unbothered, unmoved and uninvolved. These feelings are powerfully transposed onto the audience. We don’t get any sort of emotional build up. We don’t care much for any of the characters. We wonder why so often characters are standing in the background with nothing to do; no set purpose of being on the stage. We finally get to ‘Don’t Cry for me Argentina’ and we’re just not that fussed really. As elegantly as Hatton delivers the song, she has not been given the foundations to allow any emotive response to the lyrics, and this feeling, unfortunately, carries the second act all the way to her inevitable death.

Schiaretti moves around the space awkwardly, amidst the cheap pillars and frozen Argentinian chorus, his hands in his pockets for an awfully long time. His lack of fluidity complements the rest of the choreography, which too lacks in fluidity. Movement is basic; all the chorus turning at the key moments, a few spins, synchronised leg work; at one point they try to be more adventurous by splitting up and doing different moves, which just looks clumsy.

In a musical which can be manipulated from so many political angles (particularly in the current climate), the obvious elephants in the show are completely ignored. Bob Tomson’s direction has no new concept; the musical is dated and this production begs the question of why nothing’s been done with it. Even blocking is ultra basic. Characters speak a lot through the fourth wall; it’s like watching a concert, with two or three of the same songs drained through this eighty-five-minute production. Nothing is magical or takes us by surprise. It’s just, frankly, dull. The storytelling is non-existent, despite having a dedicated narrator who guides us through. We can’t possibly believe in Eva as a character; there’s no depth.

Tomson seems to rely on the slow walking of characters as they enter the stage to fill the scene gaps, whilst we wait for another cumbersome set change before the next song begins. Meanwhile, the stage is lit with block colours of light, whilst in one scene we’re blinded by moving spots, which I believe is supposed to set the busy Argentinian streets but just forces us to have a well-deserved nap until we can open our eyes again.

You have to have extreme patience and admiration for the music to enjoy this production. A standing ovation suggests that perhaps the rest of the audience enjoyed the show a more than I did, but I think it’s equally as possible they were standing to show their appreciation for a talented cast in an uninspiring production.

Review by Joseph Winer

The story of an ordinary woman’s meteoric rise to power at a time of extraordinary political unrest, Evita is playing for 12 weeks at the Phoenix Theatre from 28th July to 14th October 2017, with a press Gala performance on Wednesday 2nd August at 7.00pm.

The season marks the 65th anniversary of the death of Eva Perón which will be commemorated in Argentina in July. This enigmatic figure, whose rise from humble beginnings to extraordinary wealth and power is immortalised in the musical Evita, passed away on 26th July 1952 and was laid in state exactly 65 years prior to the commencement of this latest West End season.

Taking on the iconic role of Eva Perón is one of musical theatre’s most exciting young leading ladies Emma Hatton, who has performed the lead role of Elphaba in the West End production of Wicked, the principle roles of Scaramouche and Meatloaf in We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre, and Donna in the West End production of Dreamboats and Petticoats.

Leading Italian performer Gian Marco Schiaretti plays Che, a character who reflects the voice of the Argentine people. Linked to Eva by destiny; he brings balance to the story of Eva’s rise to fame. Gian Marco Schiaretti most recently played the title role of Tarzan in Disney’s Musical Tarzan, in Stuttgart. Prior to this he played Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet across Italy.

The cast is completed by Oscar Balmaseda, Sarah O’Connor, George Arvidson, Lewis Barnshaw, Jessica Ellen, Callum Fitzgerald, Kellie Gnauck, Dominic Adam Griffin, Joe McCourt, Jude Neill, Jordan Oliver, Chrissie Perkins, Oliver Slade, Matias Stegmann and Yuval Zoref.

Telling the story of Eva Perón, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Perón, Evita follows Eva’s journey which ultimately led her to be heralded as the ‘spiritual leader of the nation’ by the Argentine people.
