If there was any question about Che in Evita being Che Guevara...

Posted by: Chazwaza 05:56 pm EDT 09/11/14

"Initially, I was planning to tell the story from the point of view of Eva’s hairdresser. But I had a lightbulb moment when I discovered that Che Guevara was from Argentina, and had been there when the Peróns were operating. I thought: “Hang on – Che would be much more interesting than some unknown hairdresser. That way, I get two icons for the price of one.”" -Tim Rice

Sorry if this was already posted. I know there was plenty of talk with the Grandage revival, and the claim being made that it was never meant to be Guevara but instead an "every man", and that Hal Prince had made it Guevara. Obviously that is not true.
