Life imitates art, part 94

Verse from "The Lady's Got Potential", 1976

Oh yes Peron he joined a faction called the G.O.U.
They were the gang behind the military coup
So Peron was a heartbeat away from control of the nation.
They thought that Hitler had the war as good as won
They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.
And Eva set her sights on Peron and his situation.

I think this is the strongest Andrew Lloyd Webber show and the one I enjoy each time I see it -- and I love the film.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is nice for singers...unfortunately, I'm more of a piano player than a singer. I'm not entirely in love with his piano music...it's just okay for me. (In a similar way, I love Sondheim, but I seriously can't stand playing his piano accompaniments...)

I think I like listening to Evita more than I like playing it. There are too many repetitive notes for me to have fun...not to mention that pretty much nobody listens/sings to Evita besides me...

I love this musical and was extremely happy to be able to play the songs on the piano in this easy piano book. Easy to sight-read and fun to play :)

Great music, great characters, great opportunity for interesting set and blocking.
