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.

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.

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.

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.

Someone give this man a Tony already! Give him all the awards. Lord knows he deserves them. I can't imagine anyone giving a finer reading of this role, this song, etc. How I wish they would have done a proper recording with this cast. I'm relishing every second of it. Thank you for posting!

whos the actor for franklin in here?
Michael Hayden
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
