1. The Times‘ Benedict Nightingale said Roger was "a revelation," while The Independent‘s Paul Taylor declared her "simply sensational." The Daily Telegraph‘s Charles Spencer was won over by Roger‘s "socking great star performance." Roger, Taylor said, "has a wide, voracious mouth and a clarion voice capable of thrilling shrillness and of a pensive purity that‘s just on the point of curdling." Nightingale felt Roger‘s vocal power was "at times so jarring that I thought my ears were being attacked with an electric screwdriver." But he reckoned that was a plus –– "then again, wasn‘t that Evita?" Nightingale and others praised the infusion of tango rhythms into the show‘s arrangements and in Rob Ashford‘s sensuous choreography.
