Madalena Alberto News

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece Evita visits the Lyceum Theatre for two weeks from Monday 1 - Saturday 13 July, starring West End star and multi-platinum selling artist Marti Pellow (Wet, Wet, Wet) who returns to play Che following his appearance in Blood Brothers earlier this year.

First staged in 1978, Evita is Andrew Lloyd Webber's and Tim Rice's musical based on the life and death of political figure Eva Peron. The narrative follows Eva from her beginnings as a radio star and actress, her climb up the social ladder and finally as First Lady of Argentina.

EVITA will open in London and play 6 performances only, at the New Wimbledon Theatre from Wednesday 15 May, prior to embarking on a national and international tour.

Getting the opportunity to review Madalena Alberto's newly released EP 'Heart Condition' was very exciting to me, having heard her phenomenal performance as Fantine in the 25th Anniversary touring production of Les Miserables. Even more exciting is that the four songs featured on the EP are written by Alberto herself. For me, there is nothing more refreshing than a musical theatre performer who can take direction and deliver someone else's music AND be able to write, compose and perform their own work as well.
