The Official Raúl E. Esparza "Spread the Love" Thread, Part 3 — Page 79

If my head is in the sand, and I personally think that it isn't, who on earth are you to judge me? Who said it was your business if I think that Raul Esparza is the f*cking king of the universe? The state of denial that I may or may not be in is absolutely none of your business to analyze or judge.

Who on earth are you to judge me? Who said it was your business if I think Raul is the biggest dick on the planet? You're the one that started this by analyzing and judging my posts for daring express an opinion of Raul that isn't 100% sunshine and happiness. You have no idea where these sentiments are coming from, so don't presume to believe that it's anything you yourself are privy to and therefore are capable of judging my reaction to. But it's absolutely laughable that you're making these accusations of me when you did the SAME THING in your first post on the matter.

backing up a bit to the role switching Q&A from the Drama Desk nominees - I forgot how funny that clip is. I love when Linda Balgord's like "I would love to do Love Musik...I love the music"

Seeing Gypsy on closing night, and then Rent the day after. I'm excited!

I know, it really is. I can't watch it enough. I'm not sure Chenoweth is a real person, to tell you the truth

"In any show?"
"Is there an actual character that IS the Coram Boy?"

Michael's comment is the best. And I love Raul drawing in the background. His hair is like, fluffy, lol

Barbara!!! I was just watching her on this clip of the drama desk nominee's memorable moments, and I was like "I miss her in Company.."

I really want to see that show before it closes, argg. I wish I'd gone tonight

I actually think Christian Borle is my favorite part of that video - he cracks me up!

Quickly back to Spring Awakening - I didn't get it, and I'm not really sure how I missed what everyone else thinks is so fabulous about it, but somehow I did. I sat on-stage during previews and there were actually times that I found myself giggling at things that weren't supposed to be funny, just because I found them bizarre and lame. Now, that being said, considering I saw it very early, it's been quite some time and I do want to revisit it (although I'm not really in the business of camping out for student tickets anymore - the 3-4 hours I waited for Company student rush the last few weeks was briefly fun because it temporarily made me feel like a tween again, but that even got to be a bit much).

Laura Benanti - never liked her, but LOVE her as Louise.

And Raul...I don't think anyone thinks Raul is perfect, or "100% sunshine and happiness" - on or off-stage. But doesn't that contribute so much to WHY we love him? I know it does for me. Perfection, overabundant friendliness - blahhh. I appreciate people with an edge, and, not that I've experienced it first hand, but it certainly seems like he has one. Some people don't like that, and that's okay. Some of us gravitate towards people like that, and that's okay too.

Heh, it's very... pensive.

Chaos theory freaks me out.

The woman who sits next to me at work is blasting "Hair" on the oldies station. For some reason, it just doesn't have the same effect as the Actor's Fund version...

---

Perhaps they were trying to capture that spaced-out, time-is-meaningless effect you get when pharmaceuticals are involved?

I'm going to be totally silly here and say that my favorite part (of the Actor's Fund version) is where Raúl is bouncing around on his toes. There's something so...giddy about that exuberance, you can't stop grinning.

---

Oh Geez... How did I know that something like that would be posted as soon as I mentioned Hair? I really didn't mean for that to happen...


But I love it.

Well, at least its not the --
No, I'm not going to say it because then somebody WILL post it!

Oh, lord, me and my big mouth!!
