He did such a good job New York made him assistant district attorney.

This is the definitive version if you ask me.

Oh the little dances are just so 😊

So so so brilliant

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

who's out here holding space for this in 2024 ??

Chilton in his office as Will is being falsely imprisoned

Hell yeah! Love Raul's voice in Defying Gravity! I'd have so much fun being in the audience. Playful stage presence! Nothings bringing him down!!

Bravo! Amazing vocal rendition! Too bad this show never came to LA

This is the best thing I’ve ever watched

This was such a magnificent production! JB was beautiful throughout. And for an extra special treat, Lynn Redgrave as JoAnne!!

he brings such a young and refreshing air to bobby. i loveee

Rául - AMAZING as always!! His voice just takes you on beautiful journey, every time!! Such a talented man!!! 💖 🔥 🤗

This version is crazy good. The physical comedy is unmatchable!

god this performance is electric

I think this is one of the best if not THE best performance of this song.

I watch SVU religiously... I did not know that Raúl Esparza sang.... as if I needed another reason to love him lol

I hate it when people clap too early. Let the song finish for the love of god

I glad he has supporting wife.

Does anybody know the name of the singer coming in at 02:03? :) // Kennt einer von euch den Namen des Sängers, der bei 02:03 einsetzt? :)

No matter how many times I hear this song, no matter what recording, no matter what singer, this amazing impromptu off-the-cuff take surpasses them all. You're as good as they get, Mr. Esparza.. I only wish mere words could do you justice. Let your genius do that for me.

what. the. FUCKK

This is brilliant

Dear Uploader, 8 years ago, when I was only 10 years old, I randomly bumped into that video. Something in Raul’s performance has lit fire in me, and I have decided to Google the name of that show. I have entered the rabbit hole of Stephen Sondheim, which has changed my life for good. Rolling along 8 years later, I am learning the art of musical theatre book and lyrics writing and my own ‘Greatest composer any lyricist has ever had’ and I have finished writing my first original musical. Thanks to that video, I have met my mentor and teacher, Stephen Sondheim, whom I’ve never met but who taught me everything I know.

ADA Barba?

Wonderful and gifted singer/actor.

Incredible range!

Holy 💩 that was amazing. I only wish the people weren’t laughing so I could hear him sing.

this is by far the best performance of this song i've seen

❤❤❤ he is so genuine

Roll for charisma and performance check: "Two Nat 20s"

I'm OBSESSED with this ballet number! I love how The Beautiful Dance is used to illustrate The Beautiful Game! ⚽👯‍♂️

whos the actor for franklin in here?

Does Raúl Esparza know he's one of the greatest theatre performers ever?

I could've done with the unnecessary incessant laughter every 3 seconds from the audience tbh, a chuckle probably would've sufficed

Raul Esperza is phenomenal at what he does. I love this song and he does it best.

Whoa! He is amazing!!!! 😍❤

I was there opening night of Taboo and I could not believe that Raul held that note for so long

I would spend a LOT of money on recordings of his music.

Does anyone know what Raul says after the first time he says “Franklin Shepard Inc”?

Raul is brilliant!

Love Raul

every day i wake up and feel happy to know that this man is still performing and giving everything 110%.
