"Though It May Get Harder For You To See Me..."

The Broadway revival of Evita officially closed on Saturday.  If there's any good news to be found in this, it's that box office for the final week of performances was very impressive.  After all was tallied, the show bowed on a high note, with $1,104,835 in sales.

I still can't believe the show has ended its run.  While I understand Ricky Martin is extremely popular, you'll never be able to convince me that it couldn't continue without him.  There are countless Broadway leading men who could have brought Che to heights Mr. Martin could never dream of.  While I'm at it, for the producers to point to him as the major draw is extremely disrespectful.  With strong leads to support the iconic material, Evita could have ran for years.  Just sad.
