I watched Raul Esparza the whole time she was singing. I am totally in love with this man. his emotions are so beautifully translated in his body and his work.
I think what makes him special as a performer is that he actually LISTENS to the other actors in the moment and has honest emotional responses. Very genuine and unrehearsed looking in his performances. It’s what makes him a star.
IIt just inspired me to do my music theatrical@...Thanx Sutton..I just really understand your interpretation! Your Facial language!!! This really worked out...Like my solo at my voice class wit this song!!! With my Professor and all audience - other students! I got a High Score at LAVC ( Los Angeles Valley College - At Music Build during the morning at clsses!!!! ,,You're as natural,simple..and that is not so hard, actually is SIMPLE!! You take it seriously..and professional! I think its important. Roberta Meira.
@andyetandyetandyet Usually the mark of the amateur--she may be 'pro', or they may be 'pro', I don't know, but--they got the relative volumes preposterous, . . . way, way wrong, . . . so common, . . .
It was fantastic, but I just don't think she (Sutton) hit the mark of desperation necessary for this song. It was just too sweet. Just my opinion. You may now proceed to rip me up one side and down the other.....
Then you should know that a clip early in the rehearsal process of an ENCORE ! production (and you know what those are, right ?) will show an energy level & intensity different than final performance level of same.
Sutton's amazing, all right, but what was with Raul Esparza tapping his finger while he was listening? It's a small detail, but a distracting one--that one tapping finger signaled boredom, which is pretty deadly when flipping Sutton Foster is singing to you!
