Aww, I haven't seen DRS in ages!
Gav, the new avater is really cute!
Gee, Norbert is such a classy guy!
An official Norbert site? That is the best news I've heard in ages. :) He desperately needs one.

Yup, we're all just waiting for the confirmation from Norbert through Greg Jbara.
Involved in the website making...
Ryan (SirLiir--webmaster)
Carole Ann (gavrochegirl-- 1st co-webmaster...that's me!)
Liz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrel--2nd co webmaster)
We've all looked at Ryan's layouts and designs...it's not THAT colorful right now--but it will be that way sooner or later.
For those in the NY area (I think..):
If anyone's interested, Norbert's episode of SVU, "Misleader", is on USA tonight at 7p Eastern.
Yay!
An official Norbert site sounds wonderful!
Let me know if you guys need any help.

I will certainly let all of you know if we need any help. As of know, I don't think we'll need a lot of help, but if you have some wonderful ideas for the site, shoot me a PM!
::sig:: Gotta love Norb. SO excited that Norb will finally be getting this website. He totally deserves it! I'm so honored to be a part of it as well! .
Thanks Gav hehe. The website has many colorful pics at the moment and being professionally done along with my book's website. I am taking extra care that it matches Greg's (www.gregoryjbara.com) excellent site in style and content.
What I would love from you guys are reviews of his permormances. One of the pages is "The Roles of Norbert Leo Butz" and I have every show he has done. Each show (musical) has its own page divided into these sections:
Sypnosis (of the Show)
Roles Played by Norbert
Norbert's Interpretation
Songs Performed by Norbert
Awards and Praise for Norbert
I have tons of official pics for every show but what I really need are reviews of the shows I never saw. Specifically Rent and Cabaret. Patronus, you are always a great poster and we all know about your avatar. Care to share a review of his performance in Cabaret? If anyone saw him in Rent, please let me know how he did. Thanks in advance.

I think Patronus has actually seen Norb in RENT...and I definitely know he's seen him in Cabaret.
I saw him in Cabaret and I also saw him as Mark, Roger, Steve and Gordon in Rent.
I'll try and write something up in the next week or so regarding those performances.
Thanks for the kind words, btw.

It wasnt much a role but It was nice to see him on TV. A lowkey figure/burgular type but he did it well. I taped it too.
Thanks Patronus. No rush. I am still finishing the DRS page atm. Of course I finished the Last Five Years page first haha
On a related note, tThe address I want to use will be
norbertleobutzonline.com.
Norbertleobutz has already been taken by some company in CA (Maybe his agent?)

Do you have a link to this site, Ryan? Not the one in the works, obviously, but the one that's norbertleobutz.com?
It leads to a filler page. Nothing there at all >< Barbs (Greg's webmaster) thinks it might be either a reserved space by his agents or something owned by a cyper squatter.
I caught Norbs last nite too--was glad I did not rent this from Netflix--he was on far too little. 'Loved the part where he was looking in the 2-way mirror, though, sort of quirky. I was wondering if he improvised that, being the talented actor he is. Anyone know what year that episode originally ran?
Norb is lookin' hott in this pic if I do say so myself. https://www.broadwayworld.com/galleryphoto.cfm?photoid=7302&personid=7298 Now to impose my face on Michelle Federer's head....
Update on Norbert site (10/29): He has gotten the packet but he is still looking it over. He told me he will be getting back to me very soon about it. So it should not be too long now.
Great news, SirLiir... On a different but related topic..Is anyone planning to report what Norbs and Sheri sang at the Elvis Costello event on 10/31...or is anyone going? Cannot wait to hear...my personal favorite Elvis songs (hard to choose) are Call it Unexpected #4 and All This Useless Beauty...
Update..Just saw a potential set list on Playbill.com..Indoor Fireworks and So Like Candy should be great...

If it wasnt $100 dollars, even it was for charity, I'd be tempted to go. But seeing as I dont really listen to Costello and I could pay 1/2 that to see him in DRS, Im coming to just wait for another venue to see him outside the show. I believe he is doing a duet with Will Chase.
No Norbert love at all. Poor guy. Anyway, lets all get together and make sure Norbert is in at DRS when Patronus goes to see it. Whats the date, Patronus? We will bombard Norbert with mail to make sure he is there.
Hey-Some great threads and reviews of the concert are on the board-sounds like Norbs wailed on both "The Judgement" and "Veronica"--looking for some pictures, hopefully soon.
Wendy-there's some pics up at gettyimages.com (I think, google if I'm wrong) either type in Costello or I clicked on recent events and clicked that, quite a few of Norbert there. Unfortunately, think he rushed out, didn't see him at all after so there prob won't be much fan pics w/ him, just the performance ones, but yes he indeed was great.
Pictures are up on broadway.com...lots of Elvis, deservedly so. And of course Norbs.
I like Elvis Costello and the lineup for the concert was a DREAM. I really want to hear Norbs, Sherie, Raul and Matt especially. *sigh*
Excellent news on the Web site! Has anyone ever rented Looking for an Echo? Norbert provided the singing voice for a character in that movie and apparently sounded *amazing* (as expected).
