i love will roland
I absolutely love Eden Espinosa💚
This was a great interview. Thank you! 😊
I fell down the Raúlbbit hole and have been binging RUclips videos of Raúl for five days straight. I need help. I might need rehab. Or Raúhab. God, I even have his audiobooks, I simply cannot get enough of hearing him talk 😭
I hear ya! I'm on the same path right now, searching EVERY possible video of Raúl there is!
I watched “Glimpse” and thought “huh, that looks like Raul’s house” when I saw the shelves in the background. So we have seen a lot of celebs homes.
What a beautiful and important conversation!! I am assigning this to my theatre students at UNM. Also The Baby Monitor was outstanding and you were amazing in it!
Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Great show Avanthika . Keep rocking.
Victor, it's great seeing you on video. I'm happy for you and your success and happiness. God continue blessing you.
To RUclips: Why we can't write his name? Must we call him like "Sh*tler"? 😏 Don't forget the connection between Volkswagen and Hippies... And we don't need a scapegoat to solve the global problems, or stop the war.
Amazing talk … I absolutely love this show and I feel so bad that I didn’t see it on Broadway… The original cast was so amazing.. Thank you
The word for the part of the ear and the word for tragedy do come from the same place! The word tragedy sort of translates to "goat-song" it may have some thing to do with a prize for a theater competition, or with animal sacrifice. This interview sent me down a research rabbit-hole, and I am grateful. :)
Ming Peiffer trying her hardest to give any relatively interesting content about racism against people of colour while having no proof whatsoever about the so called prejudice she'd suffered over the years and also being a deadbeat, cocky, entitled, boring ass writter with a god complex because she worked on TV once. Wow, way to go! Ruin lots of people's work and lives because of your allegations and here I am waiting to this day about any of her interview regarding the issue she had experienced in Grand Army pre-production... I mean, where the F are the other people of colour who suffered racism on the show? Aren't they the ones who have something to actually say about it? Stfu Ming...
😍🎭😍🎭😍🎭
What a great interview. Not only is Raul a wonderful singer, actor and so articulate, he also has a close sense of family. He knows who he is and that’s so rare to see, especially in show business. Open, honest and funny.
Thank you for interviewing her!
Thick!
Holy hell you people are obsessed with race lol stay mad
Absolutely loved these thoughtful questions! Instead of the same ones that usually get asked. So sad the run of Lempicka had to be postponed but I am looking forward to getting out to CA when they do it, hopefully soon. The music is gorgeous and I know Eden will be beyond brilliant.
NY Times brought me here. Is there any way to still see this?
Who do you play the show?? In my head : Jeremy, a cute baby boy A squip, a computer from JAPANNNNNNN
Shes a queen 😩
Thank you for this amazing interview!
Sudan...the photo...taken in '93
Late, but I thought this talk about great. IMO, I feel like people need to understand that Hamilton is just about specific incidents in the man's life rather than an overview of colonial America and I do think it does a good job of showing The Duality of these quote-unquote sacred figures. That said, I feel like the biggest issue with America is that we are finicky whenever the past comes up that we immediately try to bury it and Hamilton somewhat suffered that last year. Only by discussing the good and the bad of the pass will we be able to move forward in a meaningful way. So rather than dog piling on Lin Miranda for not doing what we think you should have done I believe we should Instead try to create our own story and now that people like him that paved the way
I personally want to see Lea Salonga's image/or voice be featured in a Final Fantasy game. God knows we could use more Filipino/southeast Asian representation in Asian-RPGs!
As a person born of a Spanish dad and a white mom and given a Hispanic name, I'm constantly faced with people saying I'm just "white" or not "Mexican" enough. NO I'M NOT MEXICAN AT ALL. I feel you Raúl, be loud and proud!!!! Also, Rafael was Cuban! I'm just saying.
“Spanish” dad 😂 stop trying to ennoble yourself. You look Mexican. You’re probably Mexican. There’s nothing wrong with being Mexican.
came for the grace mclean (performer and writer), stayed for the grace mclean (genius and wholesome bean)
"As God would want you to." - I lost it!
If I could even be in the same room as Amber I'd physically die
Caitlin is such a wonderful representation of a lesbian that I'm so impressed with her. I'm 63 and have been with my wife for 35 years and it brought such joy to my heart to hear about The Prom.
She is great, and to go on such a personal journey during the duration of the show from Straight alli to openly bisexual is incredible.
Caitlin just said all the right things. She's perfect. 🥰
So great!
I'm Single 😍😥
I'm Single 😍😥
Eva is so authentic and love her sense of humor. Also nice of her to delve more deeply into Filipino history and culture. And I can be her friend if she needs one! I’m only 30 mins away lol
Just a reminder that both Will and Jason wore the same frog costume to sing a song
Jaosn too?!
Is that Eva’s Grammy in the background?
Great Interview !! Where did the lady with the dread locs said we can find her on social media ??
You can find her at @chisahutchinson

Thank you Lea! You are right on! I think the reason you recognize BTS is because you are a true true artist and you like what you do also. 💜
CONTRAPOINTS SHOUT OUT YES
My Cuban-American heart is smiling. ¡Muchas gracias a todos! PS ¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A? was my facorite childhood TV show and into adulthood. :-) xo
Lea Salonga astutely noticed J-Hope of BTS as being the team dance coach.He reviews intensely the performance playbacks with other members. All BTS members are perfectionists but J-Hope monitors the team choreography precisely and enhances their standard of excellence.
She took my thoughts when she talked about Taehyung. He is the first member who captivated me just by a single shot 'boy with love opening sequence' he gets two lines yes his impact is mammoth. I love that boy and love her for potraying millions of our feelings so preciesly. Words from a legend like you makes me so happy.
Oh my god i love lea 😍
I watched Yellow Rose tonite. I had the whole theater to myself. Mask on, no food, but sooooo worth it! I am a huge fan of Lea Salonga and a new fan of Eva Noblezada. Thank you for featuring both of them on this show. I enjoyed listening to them talk story. I can't wait for live performances also. Take care, all!
Where did u watch it? Where can I watch it online?
Raul had me the moment I watched and heard his beautiful vocals in his "Hallelujah" performance. And then when I heard him speaking Spanish in an interview. Forget it, I then fainted...
This interview? ruclips.net/video/lpEO5Tw_UYE/видео.html
YESssss. I remember almost falling back off my chair. And this one too :) m.ruclips.net/video/WAgQ70oCNHA/видео.html
Raul es increíble
Im one of these persons who only knew him from SVU and now , I found out so much great things regarding his theatre/broadway life and I really love that. thanks to Law and Order SVU that I was allowed to discover this artist! many greetings from germany. !!!!! Raúl you are great , gorgeous, love you! <3
I would love it if Raúl Esparza would sing a version one day of the song A Million Dreams.
Raúl Esparza has helped me so much with his interviews and all his work. He inspired me to go back to my art., I'm a singer and author who gave these things up for too long.
Thank-you for posting!
