Talented Local Children Chosen to Join Stellar International Cast in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’S Musical Masterpiece EVITA Press Release Page 1 For Immediate Release TALENTED LOCAL CHILDREN CHOSEN TO JOIN STELLAR INTERNATIONAL CAST IN TIM RICE AND ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICAL MASTERPIECE [Hong Kong, 4 May, 2018 ] The Producers of EVITA are delighted to announce today the 18 Hong Kong children who will perform in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical in its debut Hong Kong season from 11 May until 10 June 2018. The audition, held in mid-March, saw Resident Director Anton Luitingh fly in to put the youngsters through a series of acting and singing tests. The 18 Hong Kong young actors and actresses aged from eight to 13 have been handpicked from amongst 200+ talented and passionate boys and girls who competed for the roles in the show. ‘It is a really tough task to choose only 18 young performers from all the potential applicants. I can see so much talent in Hong Kong and I am really looking forward to working with these young performers in May.’ said Anton. EVITA won two Olivier Awards following its sensational West End opening in 1978, for Best Musical and Best Performance in a Musical for the then unknown Elaine Paige, who saw off Barbra Streisand, Liza Minelli and Faye Dunaway for the role which propelled her to stardom. As Lloyd Webber says in his new autobiography ‘Unmasked’, written to mark the occasion of his 70th birthday, “I lost count of the number of curtain calls” on the show’s thrilling opening night. It went on to be one of the hottest tickets in the West End, with “standing room only”. EVITA opened on Broadway in 1979, where it became the “toast of the town” and won an incredible seven Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards, cementing Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s place as one of the most successful musical partnerships of all time. EVITA was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical. In total, the show has won more than 20 major awards. EVITA Press Release Page 2 Set in Buenos Aires between 1934 and 1952, EVITA charts the rags-to-riches rise of Eva Perón, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Perón, from her humble beginnings through to the extraordinary wealth, power and status which ultimately led her to be heralded as the “spiritual leader of the nation” by the Argentine people. For decades, EVITA’s passionate love story coupled with the tragic hand of fate, has thrilled theatre- lovers all over the world. The 1996 movie starring Madonna as Eva, Jonathan Pryce as Perón, and Antonio Banderas as Che Guevara went on to win an Oscar and three Golden Globes. This new international production stars EMMA KINGSTON (Eva Perón) who has performed in Les Misérables in London’s West End as well as UK productions of In the Heights, Fiddler on the Roof, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Grease. South African musical star JONATHAN ROXMOUTH (The Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard, Beauty and the Beast, Grease, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd) will perform the role of Che, and playing Juan Perón is ROBERT FINLAYSON (The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon in the West End, as well as Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Aspects of Love, High School Musical, West Side Story). The finest ever pairing of Tim Rice’s lyrics and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music has created some of the best loved songs in musical theatre, including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, On This Night of a Thousand Stars, Oh What A Circus, You Must Love Me and Another Suitcase in Another Hall. As Lloyd Webber explains in ‘Unmasked’, he wanted to write an anthem for Eva that could be turned on her, and used in a different way – against her. Don’t Cry For Me Argentina was the result and the song was recorded and released before the show was developed. He sent it to Hal Prince and the show’s journey to the stage began. The iconic song reached Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, and enjoyed similar success internationally, with Karen Carpenter, Olivia Newton-John and Petula Clark all releasing cover versions. David Essex’s recording of Oh What A Circus reached Number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and Another Suitcase in Another Hall has also been recorded by various artists, with Madonna’s version reaching the top ten in the UK. The production reunites the original creative team of renowned Broadway director HAL PRINCE, the West End and Broadway choreographer LARRY FULLER and the original designer TIMOTHY O’BRIEN. Hal Prince has won 21 Tony awards, more than any person in history, earning him the accolade ‘The Prince of Broadway’. As well as EVITA, his directorial and producing credits include Candide, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Show Boat, A Little Night Music, Follies, Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof. Hal Prince said “I am absolutely thrilled to be directing this original production of EVITA. I believe that it is Tim and Andrew’s finest work and audiences in Hong Kong are truly in for a treat.” Tim Rice is the recipient of three Tony Awards, three Olivier Awards, three Oscars and 12 Ivor Novello Awards. His other musicals include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Blondel, Chess, Beauty and the Beast, Aida, From Here to Eternity and The Lion King. EVITA Press Release Page 3 Andrew Lloyd Webber is the recipient of seven Tony Awards, seven Olivier Awards, a Golden Globe and an Oscar. When Sunset Boulevard joined School of Rock, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway last year, Lloyd Webber became the only person to equal the record set in 1953 by Rodgers and Hammerstein with four Broadway shows running concurrently. His other musicals include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Tell Me on a Sunday, Song and Dance, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love, Whistle Down the Wind, The Woman in White and Love Never Dies. EVITA comes to Hong Kong as part of an international tour, taking in Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo, and is presented in Hong Kong by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and David Atkins Enterprises in association with David Ian Productions and Pieter Toerien Productions, and by special arrangement with The Really Useful Group.

  • Chatting with Evita's Christina Decicco, the 'Alternate Eva'
    Friday, June 29, 2012 DIVA TALK Chatting With Evita’s Christina DeCicco, the ‘Alternate Eva’ By ANDREW GANS For those like myself who like to catch as many different actresses playing the role of Evita as possible, there is some exciting news: For two weeks this summer former Wicked star Christina DeCicco will step into the title role of the Tony Award-nominated Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical at the Marquis Theatre. DeCicco, who normally performs the role twice weekly — Wednesday evenings and Saturday matinees — will play the late Eva Peron six performances a week July 12-19 and August (dates to be announced shortly) while Argentinian actress and Olivier winner Elena Roger films a movie (during those two weeks Jessica Lea Patty will be the Alternate Eva). (For the record, this diva lover has enjoyed the Evitas of Tony winner Patti LuPone, Derin Altay, Nancy Opel, Donna Marie Elio [now Asbury], Judy McLane, Natalie Toro, Felicia Finley, Elena Roger, and, come July 7, Ms. DeCicco.) Although DeCicco has only gotten to play the role about 20 times, her co-stars have lavished her with praise. Rachel Potter, who plays Peron’s Mistress, previously told me, “Christina is from New York. She’s an American through and through, and she brings such a different energy, but it’s so, so great, and I hope that more and more people will come see her because she’s fantastic....Her voice is stunning, and we’re all very, very proud of her because obviously being an alternate is never an easy job.

  • Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musicals
    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICALS Diploma Thesis Brno 2009 Radka Adamová Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, PhD. 1 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRY Adamová, Radka. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature, 2007. Diploma thesis supervisor Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph. D. ANNOTATION This diploma thesis deals with British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his works. The first part of the thesis introduces Lloyd Webber’s biography, his close collaborators as well as his production company the Really Useful Group and description of all his works. The main part of the thesis is aimed at his musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar , rather their origin and development, the main plot and their main characters that have many things in common. Both these musicals are based on topics from the Bible. The thesis also deals with the librettos and their translation into Czech. ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá britským hudebním skladatelem Andrew Lloyd Webberem a jeho díly. První část práce seznamuje s Lloyd Webberovým životopisem, jeho blízkými spolupracovníky, stejně jako s jeho produkční společností Really Useful Group a popisem všech jeho děl. Hlavní část práce je zaměřena na muzikály Josef a jeho úžasný pestrobarevný plášť a Jesus Christ Superstar , přesněji řečeno jejich vznik a vývoj, hlavní dějovou linii a jejich hlavní postavy, které mají mnoho společného. Oba tyto muzikály jsou založeny na příbězích z Bible. Práce se také zabýva librety obou muzikálů a jejich překladem do češtiny. 2 I declare that I have worked on this thesis on my own and used only the sources listed in the Bibliography.
