| According to promotional material from City Center, this will be a new production with two actors cast as EVITA. I assume it means two on stage at one time but how they plan to do this is not specified. Who knows? ‘Evita’ a la “Little Me”? Dueling divas—the opportunist vs the saint? | |

| I saw a student production a few years ago with two actresses playing Evita: one playing the younger Eva Duarte, and the other playing Eva Perón (I don't remember exactly where the change took place). | |

| Didn't Prince entertain that idea when he was first conceiving the staging? I think I read it in the update on his memoir (I only have the original). He considered younger/older. | |

| You remember correctly. It might have been three actresses--represented by the trio of women who sing a snippet of Don't Cry For Me Argentina at the very end of the opening funeral sequence. The first woman to sing is the actress who will play Eva the rest of the evenings, then the two others join in harmony, apparently meant to play Eva at different ages, but abandoned. I appreciated the insight because I could never figure out who these other two woman were and why they are in that sequence. Everything in the show seems very deliberate and I thought it was odd because there seemed to be no reason for them to have this moment in the staging. Interesting that this bit was left in even after the multiple actresses idea was abandoned. | |
