I just realized it's been A DECADE since Raul was on Broadway and that's just unacceptable. It was so fantastic to see him in "Road Show" a couple years ago at for those few performances at Encores but I'd love to see him in a new musical that showcases one of the best voices we have in musical theater.
Come back to us, Raul.

I swear to god Broadway.
Take a chance on a big huge epic frightening production of Sweeney starring Raul.
We have seen it as an intimate chamber piece several times and it's cool but - it's a scary show. People will flock to a scary show if you make it look epic enough. Give it the love we've given Les Miserables every time.
Do people not realize the Johnny Depp film is pretty popular? It's regarded as the last great Tim Burton film in recent years. If they played on that connection I think people would be game.

I need that Kennedy Center revival of CHESS with him.
I also had a Dreamcast where him and Mariska Hargitay played opposite each other in “…Virginia Woolf”, just because their crackling chemistry on SVU would lend himself to an assuredly great night of theatre.

I just don't understand the adoration some feel for him. He's the Lance Bass of Broadway to me.

I think the show was ahead of its time (I hate that phrase) and I think if it was remounted now, at a small venue (Helen Hayes/2nd stage), it might do very well! Raul can put some of SVU $$ into the show!

Its a replacement in a long running - my favorite - show but I’d love to see him as Billy Flynn in “Chicago”

Everything else has been musicalized. Why not Law & Order?

That's so funny, I feel the same way about the man in your profile picture. Weird.

Let's get both Esparza and Cerveris back and in a show together.

I think he’s a great actor. I do not care for his singing voice. His version of Being Alive is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I know I’m in the minority. I’d love to see him in a play though.

Totally agree Betty, his version is the worst I've ever heard. He's a good actor but he is making a tasty salary on SVU and there is no reason for him to leave a good gig like that.

He’s not a series regular anymore. The last 3 seasons he’s only been in one episode per season so his schedule is open if he’s aching to go back to Broadway. Now it’s not a financial choice but a creative one.
