WRQ, that's ok. I'll catch back up soon enough.

P- Considering the likelyhood of all of us actually getting lotto seats, I think you have a good idea of who will grab those SROs.

FrontRow center at DRS are my fsvorite seats of any show I have seen. What you miss in pull picture is made up for by a thousand times just by the ability to see the amaxing things they do with thier faces.

Who else could we recruit? hmmm... I am blanking at the moment.

Oh, I thought you were getting SROs too.

If you weren't buying SROs then OF COURSE you get them. No question at all.

As for recruiting... is Pinguin in NY? I hear that luvtheemcee likes to do these things, maybe we could convince her? I am going to try and rope mabel into helping me also.

I never figured out how to get SROs, the plan is still up in the air. Mainly because I haven't gotten it all worked out with the lady, I flip back and forth on the plans.

Getting SRO is what I am probably going to do though. So disregard that last post, I'm just thinking in post form half the time.

Pinguin is not here, she is pretty far away I believe.
Emcee would be a good recruit, if she isn't on "Never leave the Hilton" watch.

Wait I'm confused. Are you guys talking about Rent or DRS? I thought it was Rent but then someone mentioned DRS and now I'm confused...ah well. If possible, I'll do DRS lotto Sat nite, so that's my part in all this, take care of my own confusion.

Sorry about the three posts O.o What I was saying that I am will go wherever you guys want to. Norbert fans united! We are the brothers to the always excellent GFU. Oh and dont worry Gav, I only laid the groundwork for some parts of the sites. It will be up to my cowebmasters to help me gather materials, write up some columns, make some games?, etc etc. Plenty of work ahead but as for now, the site is certainly ready to be enjoyed by all.

SirLiir, you live in the city, right?

If you could come and continue to pad our Rent lotto odds on Sunday night, that would be great.

The short story is that my wife and I were huge Rentheads back in the mid to late 90s. Saw it upwards of 50 times each. We haven't seen the show since 1999 and are looking at this as sort of a "closure" performance. We cringe at the thought of seeing it from anywhere except front row.

At this point, including my wife and I, I believe we have 6 people who have their names in the lotto on our behalf.

Norbert signs a sitcom deal!!!

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:29am

A little snippet from the article:


Butz has been on Roth's radar for almost a decade, since Roth first saw the actor in the Broadway production of "Rent." After attending a preview of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" in February, Roth, who already had a deal in place with CBS and Paramount TV to develop comedy series, felt that Butz would be perfect on a sitcom.

"I believe he's got something really special and will become a big television star," Roth said. "He's got charm and (knack for) physical comedy like Jack Black, and he looks like a regular guy."


Hopefully they'll get a good writing team in place and this will be a hit. Although, I find it odd that this person thought Norbert would be a good sitcom star after seeing him in Rent.

I really hope they can find something of quality for him.

Posted: 11/9/05 at 11:15am

Well I have mixed feelings about this

I mean yaay for Norbie, he is soo talented and totally deserves this..

But...I hope we don't lose him from stage to screen. He's too valuable a live theatre performer for that to happen.

It will be better for him to gain the exposure and attention of television. I hope he will do both, but that is up to him.

Then when he comes back everyone can complain of "stunt casting" and be amazed that he can sing.

I think this is great news...am I alone in watching "Twins" for Chris Fitzgerald? Hopefully, Norbs' vehicle will show the full range of his talents. You could tell from that brief "Law and Order:SVU appearance--the camera loves Norbs!

And Smart Penguin--VERY funny comment.

Posted: 11/9/05 at 1:29pm

That's my worry, wendy. That Norb will be stuck in something like "Twins".

But I'd love him on "My Name is Earl". ha ha.

If he lands a quality role, I'll be thrilled.

Patronus, I live on Long Island but I can get to the city in 35 mins on most days. I will most certainly help increase your Rent chances if possible haha

As for the sitcom thing, it probably wont begin shooting until Norbert is finished with DRS (March as of now) I believe so he can use his 'down time' during plays/musical for it. Norbert needs national exposure. People keep coming to see DRS for John Lithgow. Just once, I would like people to say they are coming to see NLB. The sitcom may be key to more fortutious name recognition for Norbert.

Posted: 11/9/05 at 4:11pm

Honestly, I couldn't care less about John Lithgow. I hope he is in when I see because I want to see the chemistry between him and Norbert, but I believe I can actually say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am seeing this show because of Norbert and really wouldn't care to see it if it weren't for him?
