Yeah, it was. I'm thrilled for the show -- they needed this. I'm so pissed off about DHP. It's so unfair to him -- there's no comparison between a normal good performance and what Raul is doing.

I'm in a quandary about this because I can't say anything about his competition since I havent seen the other male performances, but I am still upset that he didnt win. I am really happy that Company won though - it deserves that recognition.

I've wanted to write to him for awhile now, and I think this just motivated me to start

I'm in such a shock mode right now. In all retrospect, its just an award show; something that will probably be forgotten in years to come. But seeing the look on his face and the fact that so much has happened to him revolving around this show...it's just so hard for me to grasp.

My sister said she was happy David won because she thought the Curtains song was more "interesting"... Errr...

I think you should finally break down and write to him misschung. (I did the day the Tony nominations were announced, but don't tell anybody... re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, Part 3 )

I decided a couple of days ago that I wasn't going to listen to any musicals for a month (with the exception of watching the Tony telecast). After Raul's upset/the show's win tonight, I think I'm going to listen to Company on repeat.

Anyone going to the show this week? The vibe could be very interesting...

Jenna, I really want to, but I'm wondering if he's going to be flooded now by letters saying "I'm so sorry you were robbed" you know? Granted I take forever to write letters so I should prb start now!

I was planning on going to the show Tuesday night. I'm wondering how the atmosphere will be. I'm wondering if he'll just want to be left alone or if he'd mind meeting ppl at the stagedoor? I just feel like giving him a standing ovation again, esp after this

I'll say this here, and not on the main board...I hope he and Michele have some kind of a relationship again, because she may have a big role in putting him back together after tonight.

My other thought is that I had been thinking about what he would do next after he won, and that it would be difficult. Now, I think he's going to find a great role, probably in a straight play, and get the Tony for the Best Actor.

I totally understand. I'm sure he's going to get a ton of letters over the next little bit. You could always be the one person who doesn't mention the Tonys... I'm sure you'll stand out!

I WISH I could see this show before it closes. All I need to do is win the lottery asap!

I hope they do too - I mean he said in that article that they are best friends, but who really knows. I hope he has a good support system of some kind to help him with this. Ugh, poor Raul. I dont doubt that he will find another great role after this. Its just a shame that he wasnt rewarded by the ATW for this one.

If you want to do something to honor Raul, I suggest giving a donation to Friends in Deed (where Michele works) or ASTEP, Mary-Mitchell's charity to bring the arts to children in poverty, in his honor. He's active in both organizations. Details are on Raul's website.

I gave Raul a donation with a note at the stage door last week, and I got an acknowledgement from ASTEP within the next week.

I'm still in utter shock, and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried. No one here at my aunt's understands why I'm so upset. I really want to talk to my sister, because she would get it, but I can't. re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, Part 3

I wasn't sure if I would go on Tuesday if he lost, but I think I'm going to go anyway.
