funny little Taboo story:

Raul Esparza made his entrance this girl in the mezzanine screamed something along the lines of
"AAAH RAUL! I LOVE YOU! MARRY ME! RAUUUL! RAUUUL!"

for a moment there i thought it was Emcee. but she has too much class, she would've appeared at the stage door with her wedding dress and pastor

It's such a cute icon! I know you on LJ too, right?

Congrats on your fish!

ETA: Awesome story. So would they *both* be wearing wedding dresses, in that case?

SS, I'm better known as spiffykates on lj :)
Thanks, it's not a puppy but it's a lot of fun to look at.

Hey Caroline, what was Raúl's response to the mezzanine girl? I bet it was interesting.

hah, thanks, CQT -- plus the fact that, I saw Raul's standby.

I can't tell you how much I love the fact that you named your fish Grover and that you have a Grover on your desk, gillygalls.

he got, like, a minute of applause. So, he just stood there and when she stoped yelling and looked up at her, gave her a smirk, lifted his eyebrows and winked.

it was very funny

I bet she accosted him at the stage door that night.

it was a great performance, though. When Raul revealed the "lemon outfit" she went at it agian. with cat calls, whistles etc.

it was a little much, but funny none the less

Grover is my own personal Jesus. Ever since I first saw him on Sesame St. I bowed down to the greatness that is Grover. When I get back to the dorm room I'll take a picture of the Grovers and share. :)

I want to see Taboo now... or maybe listen to the cd. I won't mention that this weekend has been a totally Taboo-centric weekend. :)

When I was really little, I liked Grover best simply because he is my favorite color. But Grover and I go way back, and I love him very dearly. I am such a loser. When I came to school, I left behind about 18 stuffed Grovers at home.

And I must say that while I would probably not do so myself, the lemon thing is totally cat-call and wolf-whistle worthy. Oh. My.

What did he do the second time? He tends to respond to audiences in character, so I could see him having a field day as Philip with someone like that.

I'd never have the balls to yell out to an actor like that during a performance.

Me either. I've done milder things of that nature at curtain calls a few times; I'll admit that.

You know how we were talking about Raul making us feel better? I am trying to get him to work his magic on me by repeating Petrified. That's a really cute story, he probably was afraid of her at the stage door, poor guy.

His "you freak me out" looks is really priceless.

I couldn't even bring myself to yell out like that at a concert where it would be a little more acceptable. I'd be too worried that the people around me would give me dirty looks. But at a theatre, no matter how casual the air is, it's just rude to yell out like that. Curtain call is totally cool, and I'd probably announce my never ending Raúl love then... if I had the stones.

I'm not brave or ballsy or ANYTHING like that, but sometimes.... adrenaline? I have no idea. A few friends and I did it to Raul once. He was cute about it.

.... two years later, I feel dumb.

Adrenaline makes you do crazy things.
I wonder if 2 years later he'd even remember. Probably not, so you don't have to feel dumb about it!!

Dare I ask what you yelled?

It is on tape!

It was in Bryant Park, and there were so many people and so many stage lights that I know he just heard voices and didn't see faces, THANK GOD.

I hope those friends never want to blackmail me.

Maybe I'll yell out "Raullll I loveeeeeee youuuuuu!" during a tender moment of Company. I'm sure he'd remember that.
