| Very exciting. I wonder if it will viewed as much of a sameness though. I see Eva dressed in a slip...just like Norma, and it seems to have a similar feel...I won't say stripped down because Evita was always rather sparse of set (although brilliant). Deconstrcuted? I have been waiting...since I saw my first production of Evita in 1992...to see a non-Prince staging that is satisfying. The last Broadway revivial certainly wasn't it. The more I see the Prince staging, and non-Prince stagings, the more I become convinced that his work on this piece was not just directorial, but in fact an authorship. I love the score and lyrics, but he fills in gaps and provides information that I think elevates everything. Of course it makes sense it turned out that way since he was staging an existing score. I know he got them to write Art of the Possible, but otherwise, it seems that rather than ordering up new songs or scenes, he had to use the projections and stage pictures to communicate things that were not in the book/lyrics. And yes, I think Evita has a book. It's the structure and the way the story is told, does not have to be scenes with dialogue :-) |
