The Raul E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four

I totally forgot that it was already creeping up on us -- I didn't even know tickets had already gone on sale until the affordable ones were all gone. I would have liked to go regardless of Raul joining because everyone always loves it and they have a great line-up this year. Ah well. Still psyched for Miscast.

Emcee - I'm in exactly the same boat, so to speak. I thought to look for MISCAST because last year was such fun, but I will have to add this to next year's list.

Love. It. I hope he considers this one of his "signature songs".

I agree -- that is some bizarre facial hair! At first I actually thought it was just a trick of the light, not a real mustache. Luckily his beautiful facial expressions almost make up for it - I hope video surfaces of this performance!

Do you suppose he has the hair that way for something specific? Maybe there's some new project we haven't heard about yet (as long as it doesn't conflict with Leap!!)

I saw a few people filming pretty openly on their phones and stuff, so maybe at some point. But to be honest, it wasn't as good as when he did it at Miscast, so if it doesn't pop up you aren't really missing much since the Miscast one is on YouTube.

I would assume it's for a role since something like that is pretty deliberate, but who knows. I hope it is, and not that he thinks it's like, flattering to his face and a cool thing to try. And if so, may this experiment end by Monday night! The Raul E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four

I second that motion, emcee! The look doesn't seem right for LEAP OF FAITH (and rehearsals for that don't begin till July) so my this just be a beard-like detour.

This has gotta be for some character. Perhaps for film or tv, but it's very John Wilkes Booth.

They look painted on in that Broadway Backwards pic, heh.

His hair is very gelled these days. I like it. I forget how good looking he is until all these new pictures pop up!

Oh! My eyes!!
That is the worst thing I've ever seen! Raul, please, get rid of the mustache.

Could it be for the Sondheim thing in April? A song from Assassins? Do we have to put up with the look until then?

I keep hoping (against hope) that he will do "Franklin Shepherd Inc." at some Sondheim event.

Raul performing The Man That Got Away at Broadway Backwards last week. The poster says it's a horrible video. It's not great, true, but it's far from horrible and the sound is excellent. I, for one, am grateful to have it. The Raul E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four

This performance of it didn't have the spark last year's did, IMO, but he does sound great, doesn't he? (And oh, that orchestra!)

Thanks for posting that. He sounds lovely. Such a perfect song for him.

I think I know what you mean, Em. This was park and bark. And it doesn't seem to have all the subtext to the plot of the song Raul, being the actor he is, brought in last year.
