A hotter West End commodity than either A Chorus Line or Annie, this song-and-dance account of Argentine First Lady Eva Perón (1919-52) may be the biggest London smash since Jesus Christ Superstar opened there six years ago.

But in The Country Cousin, the obligatory references to that world-St.Paul's and Yale; a Whistler in the drawing room; decrepit aunts given to decrying socialism, Jews and Roosevelt-simply fail to summon a social realm that James and Wharton made live...
