## Resource

It was recently announced that the West End revival of EVITA starring Rachel Zegler, and directed by Jamie Lloyd will transfer to Broadway, with further information to be confirmed. One thing we do know, however, is that the Olivier Award winning actress will not be singing 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' from an exterior balcony to an outdoor crowd as she did nightly at the London Palladium. With no confirmation of how this number will be staged when the show arrives in New York, Mickey-Jo is speculating about what the Broadway version might look like and how it will potentially impact the show... • 00:00 | introduction 02:26 | the balcony problem 07:08 | other approaches? 12:31 | what if she sang it on stage? 16:37 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.
