      Sorry to point this out, but Evita did not play at the Pantages theater in 1979. It was performed at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, at the music Center. Your memory seems to be a little off, or perhaps made-up all together.

    1980. Although Patti LuPone was hailed by critics, she has since said that her time in Evita was not an enjoyable one. In a 2007 interview, she stated "Evita was the worst experience of my life," she said. "I was screaming my way through a part that could only have been written by a man who hates women. And I had no support from the producers, who wanted a star performance onstage but treated me as an unknown backstage. It was like Beirut, and I fought like a banshee."

      The title of the song comes from an epitaph on a plaque at Eva Perón's grave in the La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. The plaque was presented by the city's taxi drivers' union and roughly translates as: "Don't cry for me Argentina, I remain quite near to you."[6] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote "For years I have wondered, during 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' why we were not to cry. Now I understand: We need not cry because (a) Evita got everything out of life she dreamed of, and (b) Argentina should cry for itself. Even poor Juan Peron [sic] should shed a tear or two; he is relegated...to the status of a 'walker,' a presentable man who adorns the arm of a rich and powerful woman as a human fashion accessory."[7] The song's lyrics are a "string of meaningless platitudes" according to Rice, who felt that it worked as an emotionally intense but empty speech by a "megalomaniac woman" trying to win the favor of the Argentines. It features the lyrics "And as for fortune, and as for fame / I never invited them in / Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired / They are illusions"

As a kid, I listened to her sing on my neighbor's back patio. She was 17? 1968 /69 I just couldn't believe how great her voice was. Fun to see her make it.

    It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
    When I try to explain how I feel
    That I still need your love after all that I've done
    You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
    Although she's dressed up to the nines
    At sixes and sevens with you
    I had to let it happen, I had to change
    Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
    Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
    So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
    But nothing impressed me at all
    I never expected it to
    Don't cry for me, Argentina
    The truth is, I never left you
    All through my wild days, my mad existence
    I kept my promise
    Don't keep your distance
    And as for fortune, and as for fame
    I never invited them in
    Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
    They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
    The answer was here all the time
    I love you, and hope you love me
    Don't cry for me, Argentina
    Don't cry for me, Argentina
    The truth is, I never left you
    All through my wild days, my mad existence
    I kept my promise
    Don't keep your distance
    Have I said too much?
    There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
    But all you have to do is look at me to know
    That every word is true

    It's always kind of pintless to compare so I'll just say this. Every singer brings their own gift to this song. Sarah Brightman's version from her album "The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection" was my first introduction to this song. Not my favorite version, for a few reasons, although undoubtedly very good. Madonna's version is the most vulnerable. Elaine page tells the story with perfect clarity and of course an amazing voice. But although I just saw this video, I have to say this version by Patti Lupone stands out. So powerful and direct, and easily the most operatic. She makes it look so effortless, even her tears of emotion feel genuine. Simply a stunning rendition. Bravo!

    Epic. I was too young to go into New York, but remember the EVITA commericals all over television! Patti LuPone is peerless. She is far beyond the words that can even closely capture concepts like talent, focus and star presence. She is an icon; there will never be another like her. Later in life, I got to meet her, read her book, and see her perform live in so many great shows. Seeing her is like seeing an old friend from the television when I was seven years old.

    I can still hear the TV commercials in my head. She sold out moths at a time.

    @jerlewis4291 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    For all the people who say that Madonna sang this better think again. First the song is about a megalomaniac trying to convince her fans that she is still great. That's how Tim Rice described it. It's supposed to be a plea for understanding and acceptance, not a protest. Madonna sang it in a studio and used auto-tune. After that it was sent to a mixing board where they probably spent a few days putting it together. LuPone sang it live on with an orchestra. Being able to sing in a studio where you can stop and start time and time again and being able to sing live in front of an orchestra on stage are two different things.

    • @andreiliver9295
      @andreiliver9295 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      For all it’s worth, Madonna was still perfectly cast in that movie. Everything fits for her, from her looks to the vocals. But I agree with you that Patti Lupone is excellent in this live performance.

      ​​​@@daphnemaxwell149 doesn't change the fact they can edit her voice and the song. Doesn't change the fact that she can take a break and continue singing after that. Live performance and studio is being judged differently for a reason. Should we try again so you can understand?
