Oh, Raul.
When John Lithgow first said Chitty was coming up, the audience was so damned unenthusiastic, and I was really mad! Then I almost choked with laughter when Raul came out in that t-shirt. At least the actual PERFORMANCE got a better reception. People like Raul, I guess.
I'm still mildly surprised that he bothered to show up. He's done Broadway on Broadway once before, and the leads usually do go to this, but for some reason I expected Rick to be there, or something -- maybe in the sense that with a show like Chitty, people don't give a damn -- for the most part -- who's in the cast. He did so well; I figured if he showed up, we'd get a half-assed performance. But then I remembered that he's far, FAR more professional than that.
A work of art is an invitation to love.
