Hi, I'm Roberto Araujo and I'm here with Broadway World to share with you a sneak peek of my
0:04
upcoming show, I Just Wanted You to Know, at The Green Room 42, November 18th, 9.30pm

There's a store on the corner selling comic books and candyware. When I was eight
0:22
I lived a life of crime. I Just Wanted You to Know is my new solo autobiographical show
0:28
that was born from a very universal question. Who am I? And not only how we identify ourselves
0:35
but the labels that the world tries to put upon ourselves and sometimes not with the best
0:41
of intentions. I would not steal again and I did not, well not a lot, not at least till I was ten
0:51
And over there, that's the store where I do not go anymore and I Just Wanted You to Know
1:07
There's an alley under the highway, yeah it's pretty dark and scary, yes well that's the place
1:15
where I first learned to kiss, so why am I telling you this? When I put together this show
1:22
I didn't think it was going to be as deep as we got, but my incredible director Monica Huarte
1:28
she really pushed me to find truth in every word I'm saying and every song I'm singing in the show
1:35
So I hope that being so specific with my story, people can connect and really build
1:42
a bridge between us with this story. I wanna kiss, you can do whatever you want with this, but I Just Wanted You to Know
2:26
I have loved in the years since hanging out on corners and I've learned a bit and hurt a little
2:36
too. What else is new, so have we all, but my point if I can make it is that nothing has prepared
2:47
me right for you. You see the things that I show and what I want for you to know, I hope we'll see
2:59
what I cannot express. That yes, I confess, I can't believe my feelings and I guess
3:12
I just wanted you to know, I just wanted you to know
3:18
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for watching. Thank you Broadway World for having me
3:22
and I cannot wait to see you here on Saturday, November 18th, 9.30pm at The Green Room 42
3:28
And also, don't forget that you can watch it via live stream. So there's no excuses, don't miss it
3:37
I just wanted you to know, I just wanted you to know
3:45
I just wanted you to know, I just wanted you to know
