Here's one on Raúl. There are a ton, but I'm really partial to this one. It's short and very sweet. I'll have to sift through a TON if you want anything on Adam.
Raúl Esparza - "Almost Famous"

Brisbane QPAC Concerts Review
Courier Mail Edition 1 - First with the newsFRI 05 SEP 2003
SEARCH FOR AN IDOL NO MORE
AN EVENNING WITH ANTHONY WARLOW
Lyric Theatre, QPAC, until Saturday.
Reviewed by Des Partridge
CHANNEL 10 should desist immediately from its time-wasting search for an Australian Idol.
When we spent the evening with Anthony Warlow in the Lyric Theatre on Wednesday night, we discovered that we already have one. Warlow was given a rock star reception during a performance interrupted by mature-aged fans (and some surprisingly young ones too) offering standing ovations with an hour of the concert left. "Please sit down. There's a whole lot more singing yet," the amiable musical theatre star requested, and they obeyed, albeit reluctantly. These fans patiently waited for the encores when they were again on their feet honouring the entertainer, and you couldn't blame them.
The tumult was deserved after Warlow's flawless presentation of Billy Bigelow's Soliloquy from Carousel, and the show-stopper everyone had been waiting for, The Music of the Night from his most famous role as The Phantom of the Opera. Backed by the Tommy Tycho-conducted Queensland Orchestra (looking and performing a whole lot livelier than we've seen them at some somnolent symphony concerts), Warlow held his capacity audience enthralled for a 2hr 40min performance (including a 15-minute interval). The presentation -- Warlow's first solo concert show since his Back in the Swing series a decade ago -- was conceived by QPAC as a showcase for Warlow and his new swing-themed CD Face the Music. It should be recorded as a "how to" for young artists to study.
There's a great bit of fun at the start, with the scene set even before the Lyric's brilliant red curtains rise, so don't be a minute late. In the first half, with the orchestra seated in a tiered arrangement, led by Tycho on a grand piano at the front, Warlow wandered down Tin Pan Alley for evergreen songs such as Always and Just in Time given bouncing arrangements, gave us verse and all for Stardust, stopped off at Broadway, visited an opera house for arias from The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro, and checked in to a cinema to include some movie favourites.
The first-half spotlight was shared with versatile clarinettist and saxophonist Andy Firth, who showed he's not overawed by legends by including Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing and Artie Shaw's arrangement of Cole Porter's Begin the Beguine, delivered with the style and mastery of the originals.
But this was Warlow's night and, changed into more formal wear for the second half, he delivered songs from the shows he's identified with such as Guys and Dolls, Les Miserables, My Fair Lady, The Secret Garden, Annie etc and, of course, The Phantom of the Opera. His impeccable delivery and reading of the material made each number a highlight, and he showed his capacity for fun with a series of astonishingly good impressions of celebrity performers doing the show stopper Rock-a-Bye Your Baby.
Warlow demonstrated time and time again through the night that he's a class act, and, in the shining company of Tycho (incredibly 75 this year), he delivers an evening his fans will long remember.
