Evita was finally filmed in 1996, 20 years after its initial incarnation as a studio-bound rock opera. In between, of course, it was one of the most successful and long-running musicals on either side of the Atlantic. Given such a long history, the film might easily have been a stale anti-climax, fatally holed by our over-familiarity with songs like the ubiquitous "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". In the event, it was an impressive and immensely satisfying production. The numbers, augmented by new songs for Eva ("You Must Love Me") and Peron ("She is a Diamond"), sound fresh and the singing is excellent. Coming from Jonathan Pryce (Peron) and Jimmy Nail (Magaldi) this is hardly a surprise. The real revelation is Antonio Banderas as Che, a kind of one man Greek chorus commenting on Eva's rise and the price she must pay. His warm tenor dispels memories of previous, rougher interpretations from singers like David Essex and Colm Wilkinson. Ultimately, though, the star is Madonna. She is totally immersed in the role of Eva from start to finish, her singing ranging from girlish delicacy to a hard-edged stridence as the dictator's wife achieves her goals. Rarely has a film so successfully given a stage show such a new lease on life. --Piers Ford

Ma commande est arrivé en moins de 2 semaines, dans un emballage qui n’est pas abîmé tout comme la figurine qui n’a aucun défauts, il y a tous les accessoires. Je recommande de l’acheter à 100% de plus ce site est l’un des seuls sites vraiment fiables où vous trouverez cette figurine à un bon prix et une très bonne qualité sachant qu’elle commence à être en rupture de stock. PS: achetez cette figurine uniquement ici, je l’avais commandé sur Amaz*n pour un peu moins cher pour au final recevoir autre chose et donc me faire arnaquer. Sinon super bonne expérience avec YACHEW je rachèterai sûrement.
I bought two Star Wars X-Wing expansions from Yachew. One expansion arrived damaged, but Paul from Customer Services was fantastic, quickly refunding me. I've got to say that Yachew's customer service is amongst the best I've encountered and I can't wait to shop with them again!
