You know you like 'Evita' too much when...

...You know all the variations of the lyrics (even excises songs) from each of the various mutations of the pieces - from concept album, to London cast, to Broadway cast, to film.

"Licencing slaughter of insects is hardly my mission" being my favorite with "Your nation which, only a few short years ago, had the second largest gold reserves in the world is now bankrupt a county which grew up, and grew rich on beef is now rationing it. I'll tell you what's new Buenos Aires.


And I hate that the word "churlish" was replaced with "childish" in THE ACTRESS HASN'T LEARNT THE LINES YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR.

reply

When you're walking to ANYWHERE and you're singing all of HIGH FLYING, ADORED and you are so happy you sang the whole thing without missing a word or beat.

reply

When you sing it absentmindedly as you're doing something else & only realise when you've reached the end you've just recited a whole musical from back to front without a single mistake.

reply

...you keep calling your girlfriend "Evita" accidently, and her name is not Evita. (...or calling your boyfriend "Peron" or "Che" if you are a girl).

reply

When Evita's songs are all that fills your head during quiet moments.

reply

...when you start calling a psychiatrist to have therapy for your obsessive-compulsive disorder. You live in United States, and you called a psychiatrist in Argentina.

reply

When arguing with your boyfriend you invariably sing some combination of "Don't think I don't think like you I often get those nightmares too,they always take some swallowing.

Or when you want to tell someone off but instead think to yourself "Don't close doors,keep an escape clause."

There's always a lyric that fits any given situation I'm in. LOL

Great thread.

Yeah, I love this thread...

When you turn up Buenos Aires VERY LOUDLY in your car, get out with two friends you dragged along, and dance to it in front of the McDonald's drive through.

LOL. Maybe, but I don't think so. Let's not end this fun thread yet. I just like 'Evita' too much.

reply

OK. When talking to someone and if anything they say is even remotely similar to a line from the movie it cues you to answer with Evita lyrics.

When you´re tired of the decline of Argentina with no sign of a government able to give them the things they deserve.

When you're walking down the street of a town with a population of 300-something (no lie) and to spice things up a bit, you and your friend (both of you are obssessed with Evita) sing your way through the whole soundtrack, making sure to sing especially loud when cars pass by...*sigh* memories!

Much love and BIG KISSES,
Steph

...you sing to the movie (which is, by the way, BLASTING in the next room) while doing the dishes in the kitchen.

Talking without thinking is like shooting without aiming.

reply

When you first watched it in theaters, you knew and sung all the words to Another Suitcase In Another Hall, while people looked at you weird, and would hear all the other girls in the theater sing You Must Love me and under your breath you mutter, pfft...Madonna fans.

You know who really should've sung Another Suitcase In Another Hall.

Fond memories of my childhood. Vacation Trips with Musicals or Neil Diamond being played.

Laying in the Master Bed of the Motorhome listening to
Mandy Patinkin sing "High Flying Adored".

My addiction to Broadway isn't my fault...
My mother was my pusher from childhood...

Rodger's & Hammerstine, Andrew Lloyd Webber, & everything in between..

Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady.

Remember in the 80's hunting for Vid Tapes of Performances..

Thank God that Musical Movies have made a come back..

Now if Cameron Mackintosh would get off his butt & make Les Miz movie..

reply

you like Evita to much when:

-youre watching it right now
-go on IMDB as your watching it to look at the trivia, just in case theyve added anything new
-singing along as you watch and read
-going to the post and reading every single thread there is, while watching the movie and singing along
-then taking the time to comment on a thread while singing along and watching the movie all at the same time

My teacher says real beauty is on the inside
...thats just something ugly people say..

reply

When singing Rainbow High your whole name fits perfectly into the line 'I'm (insert name),that's what they call me!" and all your friends invariably use it at one time or another. Whether they like the musical or not. lol

"They love me....the men love me, the women love me...... ME, MAHOGANY!"

reply

When you have decided to do your History Project on the actual Evita Peron, and in order to remember all of the important dates, sing the songs, like:
"...show business kept us all alive since 17 OCTOBER, 1945..."
"...it was on JANURARY 22, 1944... a night to remember, yeah, that's for sure..."

When you see Alec Baldwin, you will see the true ugliness of human nature.

When you strike a deal with the local movie theater that upon your death, they'll stop the films and anounce that you've passed onto immortality.

You also offer to double the money if they call you a "spiritual leader."

I am totally doing all those things right now! And, as an extra bonus....singing Ché's parts in a Spanish accent!!!

You go to a christmas party at a Madonna fanatic's condo,flip through more magazines than any one person should own to find her copy of Vanity Fair with Madonna as Eva cover and cower in a backroom reading Madonna's diaries of the filming experience.

The world cup's on, and you are walking through the streets, with everyone with flags outside their houses, and you are singing "OH what a circus..."

You keep singing

"I want to be a part of BA Buenos Aires Big Apple" in same almost subtly desperate way Madonna sung it

when your high school is doing a production of godspell and you spend your time in between scene changes casting the leads into Evita.

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

reply

Cuando intentas traducir todas las canciones de inglés a español para montar tu propia producción

You don't understand why Argentinians hate the musical

Have your own Argentinian Colonel costume kept in a closet that you use every Halloween

When you learn Spanish and try to translate the whole songs (with ryhmnes and all) and even with Argentinian accent only to be more realistic

when you make a production with the features described above

reply

When you go to Broadway, see Wicked and you and your fellow Theatre Freaks are the ONLY peooke who laugh when Galinda stands on the balcony, evita style, with a dress inspired by Evita. seriously, the ONLY people...

when you see a balcony anywhere you automatically stand in the evita pose, and repeat any line from the show, as it applies to the situation.

when you direct shows for stage and no matter what always find some way to incorporate something evita-like into the show, no matter how subtle

you walk down the middle of a crowded street in the city, singing, with arms outstretched to your sides, anything from the show (I do it constantly with Hight Flying, Adored)

When you convince your English teacher that you CAN write about this movie....and do so with Argentinian flair! (BTW this is my regular sig XD)

But you really should know, I'd be good for you... I'd be surprisingly good for you.
