To follow in the footsteps of Julie Covington on the original album and Elaine Paige from the show was going to be no mean feat. For those who thought Madonna simply wasn't up to it the movie version of Evita provided a surprise. Not only did she look uncannily like Eva Peron but she also sang beautifully and with feeling and acted her socks off. The movie was bound to be controversial as many purists feel it trivialises Argentinian history. However, it does capture the feeling of South America in the 30s-50s. From the stunning costumes (many copied from actual outfits that Eva Peron wore), to the soaring music, fine singing and wonderful sets this is a wonderful adaption of the stage show. The addition of new songs, in particular "You Must Love Me" sung by Madonna as she arrives home after being operated on for cancer, fit into the existing show flawlessly. Also a word for Jonathan Price who is an excellent Juan Peron as is Jimmy Nail as Magaldi, Eva's first "protector".
