And teach him how to tie a Windsor knot?
Has he finished filming L&O?
The Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four#1826
Posted: 3/17/09 at 4:34pmYeah, he finished it before Miscast.

Posted: 3/17/09 at 5:49pmThe vest/watch chain combo reminds me of his Caractacus costume.

Posted: 3/17/09 at 10:12pmI was going through my closet today and found my Chitty t-shirt; I proceeded to sing the title song in my head all morning long. Oy.

Posted: 3/17/09 at 10:49pmI love that he went to the Rooms opening! Heh, he looks adorable.

Aww, you brought Bobby back!
Today marks three years since I saw Company for the first time. *high fives skittles*

I did! I couldn't remember when I was changing mine what yours was, but I thought it was probably Bobby. Too similar?
My gosh, has it really been that long?!

So the caption for this reads: "Raul Esparza, who may return to Broadway next season, did some early workshops of Rooms." I wonder what they know that we don't? I'm guessing it's 25/8: The Musical! ![]()

Posted: 3/18/09 at 12:00pmLeap of Faith is still happening, it's just been postponed. So that's probably what they're referring to.
The Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four#1836
Posted: 3/18/09 at 12:14pmYeah, the oft postponed LoF makes sense.

I realized after I posted that that it's hardly believable since "postponed" is so often used to cover for "canceled," but that's from the horse's mouth.
As of now, it is still happening.

Posted: 3/18/09 at 12:47pmNah, I assumed if you said "postponed" you really meant "postponed." Plus, I live on hope. :)

To quote one of my favorite songwriters;

Raul and Rooms combined has to be one of my favorite things ever. I mean, just the fact that he sang "All I Want is Everything" is enough for me.
The great thing about being a fan of Raul's is that you never have to worry too much -- he'll be in something next season. A musical would be nice, though.

I'm still excited for LoF, and I hope that if it does happen, it will be a great piece.
I like his jeans/vest/tweed combo. He looks like he could pass for a hot Gepetto:

Is it weird that I think that outfit is the best thing I've seen him wear in forever? He can clearly work the suit, but I was kind of getting tired of it.
(Hee, I like that you specified that he's a hot Gepetto. )

Hehe, Scottish Punk Raul.
And yeah, I hope it's not TOO long before he's back in something. I don't think the powers that be will let that happen. Someone will want to grab him up for a show.
I thought he looked incredible at Miscast, but yeah, it's nice to see him mix it up a little. I think, after seeing the whole ensemble, that it's actually kind of cute. The jeans make it work. And I still love the tie!
lol hot Gepetto.

Posted: 3/18/09 at 10:53pmSo this Shakespeare in the Park business on the Main Board had best be true. Seeing Raul do Shakespeare is one of my biggest theatrical wishes.

Posted: 3/18/09 at 11:52pmI would sacrifice a lot (like my sleep) to get to see that (and Anne Hathaway).
Wishes come true, not free.

I adore Raulito but I do think the pocket watch chain is a tiny bit OTT/Chitty. Now if it were a flatcap... I'd love that!
What's the Shax in the Park rumour? Because oh my god, that would MAKE my summer!!
Did anyone catch Raul talking about Natasha on the news? If yes, what did he say?

Posted: 3/19/09 at 9:07pmIs the Shakespeare thread on the main board still there? I'm so tired, I may be missing it.

There was a thread yesterday on the main board where someone said that it was "confirmed" that Raul would be in a Shakespeare In The Park production this summer. They dropped this info along with some other "neener-neener" type of personal information and then vanished, leaving a small amount of mayhem in their wake.
However, that thread seems to have been deleted - I can't find any trace of it. The whole thing was both vague and snarky. It's not unreasonable to assume that it could well be true, but the manner in which it was presented was (to me) offensive.
Was it a local station that had Raúl talking about Natasha? Check their website - I bet the video of the story will be posted before too long.
