While Latin hearthrob Ricky Martin is signed to star in EVITA through the end of the year, with a Spring 2013 contract extension possible as well, Michael Riedel reported in today's New York Post that producers are already on the hunt for replacement stars as 'Che' to ensure the show continues when Martin departs. Riedel reports "Well, the producers are quietly putting out feelers to three star replacements — Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias and Antonio Banderas.
All would, I think, be solid draws, but whether any of them would want to replace Martin remains to be seen."

Amongst the possibilities floated by the Post, Marc Anthony previously starred in Paul Simon's THE CAPEMAN and Banderas last lit up Broadway as Guido Contini in Roundabout's NINE. This would mark a theatrical debut for Iglesias.

Which of the three do you think would be best as the Argentinian narrator? Tell us in the poll below!

A) Enrique Iglesias
B) Marc Anthony
C) Antonio Banderas
