'Evita' On Broadway? Maybe, But Not With Outdoor Balcony Scene Andrew Lloyd Webber isn't ruling out a Broadway transfer of the hit London Evita revival, but he's drawing the line at an outdoor balcony scene.

If Evita comes to Broadway, don't expect a repeat of the outdoor "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" that wowed them in the West End. Some true words from Andrew Lloyd Webber: "We can’t do that in New York. I mean, something awful could happen. We have gun laws in Britain.”

What a great weekend Vienna. Always love to visit the show @wiener_stadhalle and if you’ve got to do a three show day, it helps when you perform in front over 12,000 people! So proud of our @holidayonice #Horizons cast - next stop the France. Yes, that logo is hand painted at the arena!

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.

Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

Hello lovely peeps, just FYI I’m NOT on FB. Haven’t been for quite a few years and why anyone would want to creat a fake profile is beyond me but apparently there are more than!?! My family member who checked with me has reported them but the more the merrier…. Thanks.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.
