BroadwayWorld has confirmed that in the upcoming Broadway revival of Evita, Ricky Martin will play 'Che' as originally written. A show representative revealed: 'The narrating role of "Che" is reverted to the way it was written for the original concept album - as an "everyman" of the lower/working class, serving as the voice of the people; not Che Guevara. Using Che Guevara as inspiration for the role was a choice made by Hal Prince when staging the original production.'

Dirigido por Michael Grandage, ganador de un Tony y un Olivier, y coreografiado por Rob Ashford, EVITA comenzará las previas el 12 de marzo y el estreno oficial será el 5 de abril de 2012.
