andover, argentina... jane takes them all!

Jane Hindley joined AMTC back in 2016 but is no stranger to performing! She performed musically from a young age and trained at the London Academy of Performing Arts. Now, Jane is a professional singer under the name ‘Jayne Deer’ and this week she takes on the iconic role of Eva Peron in AMTC’s production of Evita …

"I decided to audition for this show for the challenge and for my children." She says. Jane plays Eva Peron, a beloved but controversial figure in Argentina’s history. 

"The cast have had such a laugh learning the complex dance routines in rehearsals. One of my favourite parts has been perfecting the Che and Eva Waltz and the duets with Peron." Eva and Peron have numerous songs together throughout the show and some of these powerful, emotion filled numbers will be sure to have you reaching for a tissue. 

You can look forward to hearing the likes of ‘You Must Love Me’ and ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ in this award-winning musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lyrics by Tim Rice.

We asked Jane what her biggest challenge has been.. "The lengthy Buenos Aires number which involves a lot of singing and dancing and one big lift!" She laughs, "So that’s something that’s taken a little while to master along with the wig changes!" 

If you should need a little extra encouragement to come along and watch this wonderful musical, we think Jane sums it up perfectly "The music is passionate with a fascinating back story. The whole cast are ready to captivate the audience with this emotive and spirited production."
