Sarah Brightman delivers a beautiful rendition of Evita's familiar song, Don't Cry for Me, Argentina. But she has never headlined a stage production of this musical. Watching this performance makes us wish we COULD sometime see her as Eva Peron...

In 2009, Ms. Brightman completed a tour of seven countries in Latin America, including Argentina. None of the Evita songs were on the set list. Argentinians remain strongly divided in their ideological feelings about Juan Peron's leadership and Eva Peron's influence.

The story of Eva Peron has been so liberally interpreted in Evita on stage and film that the Argentine government published its own official biographical film of Eva Peron to correct misperceptions and highlight the powerful impact she had in areas of suffrage and social justice for the people of Argentina.
