Albert! I think I was happier than I should have been to finally see what Albert looked like. Hehe

I wonder what this guy's name ACTUALLY is. I feel so silly.

It's driving me crazy because I heard Raul call out to him more than once at one of the last performances I was at, but I cannot for the life of me remember his name...

Did anyone else see Cynthia O'Neal at the performance? She was standing with Michele near the stagedoor for a few minutes after the show

I don't ever want to know. I'm far more content with forever referring to him as Albert.

Me too, Fantab. I can't believe a random mention in a conversation from last November has caught on this much!

Playbills should be like movie credits.

lol! I thought you guys were serious and that was really his name for awhile, hehe

Yeah, today he looked like he'd had enough when he was carrying the humidifier out to the car.

Oh, that's who I saw. I saw this woman who looked so, so familiar, but I could not place her. Duh.

PS, Raul looked really adorable after the show.

At least he didn't have to deal with a massage table this time...

Gee, Em, you don't remember her from this?

Heh, actually, I caught them in an awkward moment. I took the picture because he had previously been giggling and flailing like a fangirl when he was talking to SJP. I happened to be standing nearby and HAD to capture the moment, because it was my duty to share the hilarity. And because I felt guilty about being too busy gawking to consider it during the Daphne/Michele moment.

He had a massage table in his dressing room at Chitty. Because of the "dancing." It had nothing to do with the chorus boys.

He looks hot in that picture tho, skittles. I love the SJP fanboy behavior

And yeah, Chitty required lots of dancing... I'm just picturing Albert carrying out a massage table now, lol.

obsessed, I am drooling over this picture. Not a good sign since it's been what, 5 hours? heh

I need to ask a rather silly question since I brought up Raul Esparza's brilliance on an Amazon thread on this year's Tony nominees. I saw him last month and was floored. Someone else agreed with me and then ended his response with "...and he's only 5 ft. 3", a point he repeated to another disbelieving fan. My guess would be 5 ft. 7 or 8, though I seem to recall an article that said 5 ft. 10. Anyone know?

He's definitely not 5' 3 because he is taller then me and I'm about 5'7". 5'10" sounds about right maybe a little bit shorter.

5'10" is a pretty... generous estimation. He's definitely not that tall. I'm 5'2" and he's a good few inches taller than me... 5'6", 7, maybe?

Good to know. Brilliance comes at all heights, but I have to admit it bugs me that he keeps insisting that he is 5' 3" to the Amazon audience.

re: The Official Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread the Love' Thread, Part 3

Posted: 7/2/07 at 1:46am

Raul is probably 5'8, because I'm just under 5'8 and he's slightly taller than me. I was taller than him in heels. Although, in my photo with him and Cary Shields (who legitimately is 5'10), Raul manages to still look the tallest. Either tippy toes or levitating on pure force of Napoleonic will.

I'm glad the closing was wonderful for everyone who was able to make it. I wish it would have worked with my schedule, but it's probably for the best that my mom got to see it with the less interruptive pace of a normal performance. :)

I made a Company wallpaper around the opening of the show, I wish I hadn't been too lazy to make one in honor of the closing.
But here's that one again, since I don't recall posting it here.

That's awesome Craww! I'm so going to get in trouble when that becomes my wallpaper at work on Tuesday...

Glad everyone had fun tonight! Thanks for sharing all of the great pics!
