Jennifer Lopez Recalls Auditioning For Evita, And The Brutal Way She Learned Madonna Got The Role

Jennifer Lopez, renowned as the “Get Right” singer, nurtured a dream to act in a musical movie ever since she watched West Side Story on TV at home in the Bronx during her childhood. This aspiration sparked when she auditioned for Evita in 1996, but it wasn’t until a post-screening Q&A for her latest musical film (as reported by Variety) that she shared this anecdote. It was then that she learned Madonna had landed the lead role in Evita, a painful experience for Lopez that I can certainly empathize with.
