With the Tony Awards just around the corner, I thought I would share an example of perfect film-musical casting. The film is EVITA, based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. For many years, this adaptation was in the works, but no one was cast in the most important role of the film. So finally, Madonna sent an open letter to director Alan Parker, who was hired to direct the film. I guess the letter worked. When you watch the film today, there is no doubt that Madonna was the PERFECT choice to play the role of the Argentine icon, Eva Peron. So here is the high-point of the film. Madonna singing the Broadway classic Don't Cry For Me Argentina, from the film version of EVITA. Enjoy!
