...movie Evita bombs, it won't be for lack of publicity. Not a frame has been shot, yet the film has generated the sort of controversy that surrounds a sighting of the (other) Madonna. Buenos Aires' walls are decorated with slogans supporting either MS. PERON, inset, or MS. CICCONE, who appears, at left, in an exclusive, official portrait as Argentina's once and future, if unofficial, queen.

Musically, Sunset's real forebear is Evita. The angular, chromatic recitatives for Norma explicitly recall Eva Peron's egocentric ravings. If the music of the new show lacks Aspects' delicious subtleties and Phantom's gothic flamboyance, it still offers two of Lloyd Webber's best songs in With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye...
