His facial expressions and mannerisms seem odd here but they are not meant to be seen with a telescopic lens. They are meant to be seen from the center of the audience.
By this point everyone has been beaten down and there is raw emotions coming from all the characters. I can understand why the audience laughed when he entered if they are not familiar with the story. I had the privilege of sound designing for Cabernet at Kent State University and I loved being in the theatre every night mixing this song live being sang by a great actor and singer. Make no mistake this is a very serious scene and he sings with a great deal of pain.
@prosentertainment im singing this for an upcoming audition and i have no idea what the song is about, i love it but its hard to understand the meaning of it, has it got anything to do with the emcee or is it just abouts sally? can you help!!?
@TheNadieboo It's a warning ( as Sally particularly) not to expect too much commitment- this should come as no surprise to anyone who has known her for 5 minutes, of course. But I guess it also has wider reference to a time when maybe alot of people thought they'd better hungrily and greedily, as it were, experience a lot of things quickly before the opportunities vanished with the new political times.
Yes it was an amazing vocal performance...i love raul in so many things he does...but he dosent suit the EmCee, his voice is far too rich...Allan Cumming is the only EmCee for me..
Raul is the best Bobby by far and an awesome George in Sunday!
THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!! When I saw Raul do this on Broadway I was profoundly moved because it was packed full of everything that had occured up to that point in the show... it was more than just the latest replacement actor singing a deceptively simple song! Watch this and then watch some of the others posted and if you don't understand why this is so brilliant you have some catching up to do!!

I saw Raul in Twelfth Night for Shakespeare in the Park. It was incredible. Ever since doing Bobby in Company he has been my idol!
