I think with Defying Gravity, he was more going for the opportunity to blatantly make fun of it than to hide behind it, but yes. I mean, he was giggling too.
He is such an exceptional actor. I've never seen him live, but he seems to really become the part that he is playing. I really respect an actor who digs deep into a character and finds confidence in them.
Raul certainly sounded nice during the Brilliant Mistake concert, but I haven't heard everyone else.
I just (not kidding) jumped up and down and ran skipping down the hall of my dorm. I just got off the phone with my aunt and uncle in Cincinnati, and they bought tickets for Company! I'm going. I'm actually going. I can't believe it.
Wow, that totally makes my entire week... possibly month.
It's not at all silly! It is one of my dearest wishes to be able to see Raul in Company, and I have skipped down hallways, streets, you name it, many a time.
