I was at the show where Chitty broke with theatrekook. I didn't realize how much adlibbing Raúl was doing because I'd never seen it before, but I definitely remember his comments about all the rain and I laughed. See the thread on the main board for the full explanation, but I basically had to leave at the end of Act 1. I still feel horrible about that.
But when I was leaving, there was an usher standing near the main entrance. I told him that I was really sorry and I didn't want to leave, but I had definite plans. He said it was fine and asked if I enjoyed the show. I said that I did because I love Raúl Esparza and think he's amazing.
The guy then makes this face and said "HIM? I'd think you would have better taste than that!"
I was shocked. Like, my jaw was literally on the floor and it took me a minute to find a proper response. I finally said that maybe someone should speak to Raúl about the shady staff working in the theater. He laughed and said I didn't need to be spreading rumors and I kind of smiled and left. I'm still trying to figure out how serious he was, and if was a botched attempt at trying to hit on me. But how can you have better taste than Raúl?
