If President Donald Trump s photo op at the White House after his coronavirus hospitalization had been a tryout for a Broadway musical, thered be no callback.
Trump was discharged from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Monday after three days of treatment for COVID-19 . Upon returning to the White House, the president removed his face mask and appeared on the Truman Balcony overlooking the South Lawn to pose for photographs.
The moment looked an awful lot like Evita , Andrew Lloyd Webbers Broadway musical based on the life of former Argentine first lady Eva Pern . In the shows most famous scene, Evita appears on a balcony after her husband, President Juan Pern, is elected and sings Dont Cry for Me, Argentina to a crowd of supporters.
Patti LuPone , who originated the role of Eva Pern on Broadway in 1979, wasnt impressed with Trumps version. The legendary actor and singer shared her less-than-enthusiastic review of the presidents performance on Twitter, dryly noting: This revival is closing November 3rd.
