Product Description:
2006 London Cast Recording of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical which has the London critics in raptures about the sensational performance of unknown Argentinian singer, Elena Roger! The cast also features one of Australia's best, Philip Quast, as Peron and Matt Rawle as Che.
"Elena Roger's tiny and apparently frail Evita dominates the stage with tremendous presence, a wonderfully expressive mouth and eyes and a strong, sometimes rough-edged voice. In short she has exactly the star quality the role requires. There's strong support from Philip Quast as her sinister husband and Matt Rawle as an unexpectedly likeable Che, while the ensemble is first rate. I have a strong suspicion that Evita is going to be a huge and durable hit all over again." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
"I am a touch ashamed to admit I have fallen head over heels for Evita again, with Michael Grandage's dynamic production offering a charismatic title role performance, ripe for superlatives, by unknown Argentinian Elena Roger." Nicholas de Jongh, The Evening Standard
"..it's a pleasure to report that the piece not only survives but thrives on the violent eruption of reality that comes in the diminutive shape of Elena Roger. As she charts the anti-heroine's progress from trashy opportunist to second wife (and First Lady) of the fascist Juan Peron and then to folk saint, Roger is simply sensational.....Philip Quast, who is in excellent voice, makes a wonderfully uneasy President. " Paul Taylor, The Independent
