Evita is going back to her roots. The lead role in a West End revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical is to be played by Elena Roger, a singer, dancer and actress and one of Argentina’s biggest stars.
Evita has not been staged in London for 20 years and its creators wanted the lead to be played by a South American who could evoke the star-like quality of Eva, the wife of Juan Peron, the nationalist post-war leader of Argentina.
