This week, Show People host Paul Wontorek asked the very-busy Raúl Esparza to stop by and chat about the brilliant Broadway career he's enjoyed over the past decade. The Cuban-American star is currently prepping for his February 18 American Songbook concerts celebrating his heritage while rehearsing for the eagerly-anticipated Broadway revival of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, one of his personal favorite plays. The always-open performer also discussed his recent 40th birthday, his favorite stage turns, his four Tony nominations and how he likes to let loose (alcohol is involved!).

Okay, I'm not the only one who thinks he's completely adorable and gorgeous, am I?

[Mortimer731]

redsteelchair you have lots of company. You forgot to say 'sexy'. Am seeing him Friday night. Can't wait!

This was uploaded on my birthday and I'm seeing him perform next week (on my birthday)! So crazy. I'm so excited to see him :) He has so much talent and it seems like he's such an adorable person. It'll be the best 18th birthday present ever, especially since it seems I'll be in the first row. I just love him so much. And let me just say that he has to be one of the main reasons I love Company so much.

Huge, huge fan of Raul. Love the man to pieces. Bloody talented, fiercely intelligent, passionate and adorable.

I got a rose from him in Arcadia :)

And he called me beautiful :)

...best day of my life.

[InspectorKaramazov]

Ahaha, love him. I think I almost fainted when he started speaking Spanish. Raúl is amazing.

Why does this man not have a Tony yet? Seriously, I don't understand. He's very talented and seems like an absolute gentleman off of the stage. Come on, Tony people. Get with the program!

Who doesn't love Raul?

(why I live so far from NY? :( )

"Tick Tick Boom changed my life". Well, we have something in common, then :D

Really... I never seen him like this... like "Raul Esparza", it's great.

The pinguin thing made me fall inlove with him a little bit more. he's incredible as a broadway actor and I fell for him in "Pushing Daisies" as Alfredo.
