The Raúl E. Esparza "Spread the Love" Thread, Part Four — Page 46

Acapella as in him solo unaccompanied. Just Raul, a bare stage, a microphone, and a spotlight. And then...his voice.

I keep meaning to grab a camera on my way to work. It looks fabulous. I peeked in and they seemed to be loading in some sort of lighting equipment today.

Maybe my phone camera can get some decent shots...

Yeah, I was hoping the box office would be open. It wasn't, but they were loading in what appeared to be lighting equipment. I took pictures on my phone, but they're crappy and I can't upload them to the computer.

I can't get it to work, though. It loads to 35% and then gets stuck. Does it work for you all?

From Matt Roush's column at TVGuide.com this morning:

"Jenni asks: "I was wondering if you had heard whether Raul Esparza will be reprising his role on Pushing Daisies this season and if there's any chance we might see a duet from two of the best of Broadway: Kristin Chenoweth and Raul Esparza? (I owe you so much thanks for calling my attention to the showing of Company on PBS — it was awesome.)"

You're welcome. I wish all of his stage performances were preserved for TV, including last season's revival of Pinter's The Homecoming. But he's already lined up a new Broadway role, opposite Jeremy Piven and Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss in a revival of Mamet's Speed the Plow. So for now I'm told he isn't on the guest list for a repeat visit to Pushing Daisies, although I hear they'd welcome him back in an instant. A musical duet would indeed be awesome. (I saw both of them perform signature songs in a New York Philharmonic concert last May, but if I go on, it will sound like I'm bragging, so I'll stop.)"

Raul fans - they're everywhere, and in all the right places!

Raul has Lee Pace's scarf! The facts are THESE:
Last year when I saw The Homecoming I had a picture taken with Raul. It's an amazing picture so I put it up as my wallpaper where it's been for a year. Cut to a few days ago when I'm watching Pushing Daisies on dvd. There is this one scene in the "doll" case where he walks into the pie hole wearing a grey and black striped scarf. It is in fact the exact scarf Raul is wearing in my photo of us from The Homecoming. It is no accident that Raul happened to be on that particular episode and now has a scarf exactly like it!

Oh, it's the little things that make me happy!

Cute picture. I love his extreme side-part

Just making my presence known. Counting the days until "Speed-the-Plow" and trying not to drive my husband crazy by playing nothing but Raul clips in anticipation.

Nice interview with Raúl in the New York Post today:
Play It Again

LOL! "I'm wired and wound pretty tight."

Ya THINK???

But..."I always think with my heart first."

Oh, Raúl....

Typo.

Wheee.
