Audra McDonald as Evita
Posted: 8/23/14 at 07:50pm

I was at a dinner theatre last night and learned that Audra McDonald was Evita there about 25 years ago. How amazing that would have been to see!!! I wish I could hear her sing that score. She also was apparently in The Wiz and A Chorus Line there... but EVITA?! That is just crazy awesome. I loved looking at the pictures they had (although there were only a few)!

I could see it but who would play Che & Juan Peron?

Let's dream cast other 16 year olds to play the part!

Don't forget that Anneliese van der Pol was only 15 years old when she was the youngest actress to ever play the role in a professional production.

Wonder what role she played in A CHORUS LINE. Thank you for posting those pics, BrodyFosse123! That's amazing. I'd kill to hear Audra sing "Home."
