Evita

Aroview: The Broadway Extravaganza, complete with Madonna, wall-to-wall songs and political melodrama, is bravely swallowed whole by Hollywood. Madonna excels in enacting the rags-to-riches story of Argentine First Lady Eva Peron, playing, well, a celebrity-lover. Apart from a rather wooden Antonio Banderas, it all works gorgeously well under the dab musical hand of Alan Parker, and the melodic genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
