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%.

it sucks

What year is this from? And does anyone have other clips?

Absolutely amazing.

Akos is The Best Eternal Black Vampire Dance God🖤v-v 🙌

Then he passed out! Kidding, but oh my god. I am a singer and I am tired just watching this. The final lift up to the belted ... That's probably a B? Not only is that incredibly difficult itself, THEN he full belts it. Wow, that's some control.

Glad to register the 1000th "like" on this video. 👍

Here is Russian version for comparison: ua-cam.com/video/ORjMo2i8QPU/v-deo.html

Raul is amazing!!!!

Love this song, 2022 anyone?

DID HE STAND ON THE FUCKING PIANO??!!!

HAHA THAT WAS SO FUN

A beautiful face to match the beautiful voice. I could fall asleep listening to Raul Esparza.

I saw this at the Bushnell in CT. 20 yrs ago....so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes...thank you Bob Fosse..incredibly beautiful

The Weill/Langston Street Scene is one of my favorite shows of all time. I’ve seen it once on the stage, watched it once in an NYC Opera production on video, and listened to every recording available, including the original B’way Cast recording. But never have I heard a more heart-rendingly beautiful performance of Lonely Town than this. And in what seems like a totally off-the-cuff venue. My hat’s off to you, Mr. Esparza. Had I the power to elevate you to sainthood in the American stage, I would.

He's a damn marvel!
