Ode To The Single Man. Raul Esparza Is Amazing.

I was surprised to find out the book for this play was so old. it really seems like something written in this decade it's so hip and funny.

Sondheim said he wrote this for the upper middle class to enjoy. i think it's more for single people than anyone else. you don't have to have money or prestige in life to appreciate this. it's all very real and human.

Raul Esparza is incredible here. boy can this guy sing! i wonder what his vocal training is because this guy could probably do opera. not to mention he has an adorable, winning personality. he brings a cute,vulnerable waif-like quality to his performance as Bobby. i don't know how cute the other Bobby's in other productions were but this guy is the peach of sweetness and cuteness. i don't mean that in a gay sort of way either. he's no he-man or hunk, but that's perfect. as a man i am sick and tired of all the macho B---S--t that is out there as role models for men. i don't really relate to macho anymore than feminist relate to traditional female role models. men should liberate themselves. i'm not exactly cute and sweet myself, but i wish i was, it's so likable. Raul Esparza is a great role model for men. RELAX. there's nothing wrong with a guy being adorable,cuddly and vulnerable like Esparza. i've had many women say they like men to be that way and cut the mean spirited macho crap.

i would love to be just like Raul Esparza. a cute, cuddly little smurf.
