Very well done. Thanks. Where did you find all of these photos?

[respectanimals]

Thanks! I'm glad that you like it! The photos come from various magazine articles on Mandy Patinkin, books, the booklet that came with the EVITA LP, and the internet. If you would like to have copies of the photos, most of them can be found on my web site called Ellen's Mandy Patinkin Page. Just look in the Photos: Theater section.

Best singer for Che by far! Love Mandy doing this part.

Fantastic - the originals and the best "Evita" performers ever - Mandy and Patti are awesome - still!!!

Film and stage are different mediums. Patinkin's falsetto would have annoyed the heck out of me in the film. I had the same impression with Phantom's Brightman and Crawford. What works wonderfully on a distant stage with 8 performances a week won't cut it on a movie screen. Age is less of a factor on a stage than a screen.

@Rodeo6521 A really good friend of mine in the theatre in London has worked with Patti LuPone and says she is lovely - really gracious and good to all the people back stage whoever they are. Unlike Madonna who when she was on stage in London insisted that everyone refer to her as 'Mrs Richie' and that no-one was allowed to look at her in the eyes.

[Rodeo6521]

@caerus12 Exactly! They had to change the keys and range of all of the songs so Madonna could fit them in her pitiful vocal range. Patti Lupone's autobiography is a great, dishy read. Evidently, Barbra Streisand was the first person to option the Evita movie, but she was too old by the time it was filmed.

What happened to the end of the song? Did you cut it off coz there's more of the song near the end where Evita sings her part.

[caerus12]

They should have given Patti LuPone the movie. Madonna trashed that film with her 'acting' and her vocal. I saw Patti in Les Miserable the first week in opened in London. What a star. Apparently she was furious she didn't get the Alan Parker Evita film. It would have been a great movie if she had.

@koloagirl44 Yes, I completely agree: those two are unmatched in their roles & voice.

Mandy Patinkin from Criminal minds??? OH MY GOD!!!

[superduperstar44]

I always heard antonio banderas singing this and thought he was amazing. Then I happened upon this one! Mandy is sooooooo fantastic!

[lisaannejane2]

He really puts a lot of feeling into this song. I wish I had seen the production with him and Patti in it.

i wish they used lupone as evita in profile as the poster photo. could you imagine that image 7 feet tall.  almost as big as the two personalities on the stage of the broadway theatre back in 1980.
