Evita Returns: My Review
9 / 10
So while Broadway's original Evita was more spectacular, innovative, and starry, this one has a bracing intimacy and vigor that makes you feel the truth is, she never left you.

The 1979 Broadway debut of “Evita” catapulted the careers of Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, and the 1996 movie version gave pop singer Madonna a boost in respect. I’m not sure this revival will do much for anyone, except for the people who would come see Ricky Martin whether he were performing in “Evita” or a one-man concert. Come to think of it, for them he may be performing in what essentially turns out to be both.
