David Essex, Oh What a Circus

David Essex, Oh What a Circus "Oh What a Circus" is a song from the 1976 musical Evita, which had lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It was recorded by English singer David Essex and released as a single on August 19, 1978. Essex played the character of Che in the original London production of the musical, and the song is sung from his point-of-view. "Oh What a Circus" is a mid-tempo song, comparing the musical's title character Eva Peron's life with a circus, and calling her actions fraudulent. The song is a contrafactum, and shares its tune with the better known "Dont Cry for Me Argentina" from the same show. "Oh What a Circus" was a commercial success for Essex, who had been dropped by his previous record company due to his declining sales. The song reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and the top-30 in Belgium and Netherlands.
