Following the smash hit run in the West End, Bill Kenwright’s production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece is set to thrill audiences again across the UK and beyond. Portuguese-born Madalena will be taking her unique interpretation around the world in countries such as Luxembourg, Dubai, Croatia, Bulgaria and Italy, as well as major cities in the UK, such as Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.
Regarding her come back Madalena says: ‘I'm very excited to have the chance to revisit this amazing part. There are only a few roles like this in musical theatre. And I’m amazed at how three years can make a difference as I feel that I’ve grown so much, and have a slightly different view on Eva now. Even the score and words keep surprising me with their brilliance and storytelling. I can’t wait to go back to it with more maturity and a fresh heart.’
