As it happens, the leading lady -- who is reprising the role of former Argentine first lady Eva Duarte de Peron, which she played to acclaim in Grandage's London production -- could be singing about herself. What she brings to the enterprise is indeed just a little touch of star quality, where a tremendous amount is what's called for. The Argentinian-born Roger's earliest training was as a dancer, and in the early-in-show Buenos Aires routine that Rob Ashford has choreographed with tango references, she shows her greatest strength.
She also delivers the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice anthem "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", early in Act II, with slow and effective deliberation -- although its underlying point may not entirely land that at every word Evita utters she's lying to her adoring public. However, during the rest of the tuner, Roger displays severe vocal problems, particularly in the fast-paced numbers and when she's in her upper register.
Roger is often flat and shrill and has trouble enunciating some of the words due in part to her actual Argentine accent. Less of a drawback is that the year-old performer is starting to look a bit matronly to portray a woman who began her climb to the top as a teenager and succumbed to cancer when she was Richard Mawbey's wigs, looking like dangerous weights, don't help either, although set and costume designer Christopher Oram's wardrobe is right on the money.
