Evita (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Magaldi is performing "On This Night of a Thousand Stars" at the charity concert, as he holds the last note of the song, his arm changes back and forth from being raised, lowered, balled into a fist, and fingers spread open. (00:41:55)

Evita (1996)

Question: Since it was replaced by "The Art of the Possible" in between the release of the concept album and the premiere on the West End, I've never heard the original version of "The Lady's Got Potential." Is it as rock and roll as the version in the film is?

Chosen answer: I did a little research for you. The Original London cast recording from 1976 is available on iTunes with the song "The Lady's Got Potential" intact. In the minute and a half sample iTunes allows, the song sounds pretty similar - both just as "rock and roll." However, the lyrics and instrumentals do have differences. Look it up using the key words "Evita London cast" and you should locate it. Give it a listen!
