These are a few of the Showstopper suggestions that I remember from the murdered thread:

WSS – Tonight, Maria
Carousel – Soliloquy, If I Loved You
Sound of Music - Edelweiss
Man of La Mancha – The Impossible Dream
Fiddler On The Roof – If I Were A Rich Man (yes, really!)
Showboat – Make Believe
Music Man – Trouble
Follies – Too Many Mornings, Could I Leave You? (I think I’d just curl up and die of delight if Raúl sang this)

LOL, guys, don't make me do this, I'm not feeling as brave today

"My name's Lenny. What's yours?"

Hang on, there's a song called "If I Loved You?" in Carousel?? Wouldn't that be the ideal Alfredo/Olive song for PD?

Do it! Do it! I don't mind if you add the comments. I'm 3,000 miles away - that's the closest I'm likely to get to Raúl in the forseeable future.

Yep, the big duet in Carousel is called "If I Loved You". And yes, I think it'd be beyond perfect for Olive and Alfredo!

I thought he was going to sing the song from CAROUSEL when he said "If I loved you..." back to Olive!

I think there is a good chance he will sing "Soliloquy" on May 20th. The only other show stoppers (in my own opinion...) in CAROUSEL are "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" and I can't see either Raul or Kristin singing that chestnut.

Is that the same You'll Never Walk Alone that Barbra Streisand does?

There's this song I've been fairly well obsessed with lately called "I Was Here" from Ahren's and Flaherty's The Glorious Ones that is about incredible passion for acting and wanting to leave a lasting legacy. I'd love to hear Raul do it because of the subject matter, although vocally I doubt his version could compare in my mind to Brian Stokes Mitchell's.

He needs to be back on Broadway, like, yesterday.

Is that the same "You'll Never Walk Alone" Raúl sings when he watches Liverpool FC play?

I want to go to that FREE concert Stokes is doing tonight at the library, but I have a class that I should not skip.

Stupid school, getting in the way of the things that actually matter.

Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...

I don't know what to wear tonight. This weather confuses me, because it's probably going to cool down a lot once it gets dark.

Wear a coat that you can easily shed if need be :)

Yeah, but like, winter coat or something lighter? See, dilemma. If I wear a winter coat and I get too warm, what if I'm too cold without it? I love Spring, but sometimes it's just too complicated!

Obviously my brain is just too overwhelmed by academia right now, so in attempts to compartmentalize and keep me sane, this is what it's choosing to focus on.
