Well I mean if you think about it Norbert was trained with Shakespeare companies, such as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. He's more than capable of playing a serious role...but it all depends on what he wants. He even said in an interview prior to getting cast in DRS that he never gets cast in comedic roles and that "[he's] funny, damnit!" So it's all up to what he wants...and he seems to be drawn to the comedic roles lately. Why else would he sign on to a sitcom? But I'm sure that when, I hate to say it, the sitcom inevitably fails...he will come back, and either (what I'm hoping) sign on to do the High Fidelity musical...or just headline something totally new...but it's all up in the air.

I knew that he did Shakespeare and that's not easy for any actor. It's not even easy if you're used to it. That's what I really started doing as an actress and it's extremely difficult.
Anyway, I really do like him in the comedic roles, though. I really hope the sitcom doesn't fail but I guess I shouldn't be expecting too much. Oh well.

Is it mean that I hope it does just so that he can get his butt back on Broadway as quickly as possible?

No because I'm thinking the same thing. I really want the sitcom to take off but I really want him to stay on Broadway. I'm so torn. Haha.

I don't want him to all of a sudden get an even more insane fan base due to a great sitcom...then I'd just be sitting there saying "I've liked him for years now!" Well...I guess if that happens he'll still be the same, and I'll be a webmaster on his official website! Buahaha.

I think it would be good for him to get a bigger fanbase but if we're talking a bigger fanbase, like the Rent movie got or Wicked is slowly getting as it tours the country, then I hope it fails. Not saying that those fans are all... never mind. I should have just stopped a while ago.

I know what you mean...and I agree. 
. But I mean...sitcoms are dying in general...and there's always the downside of his failing. "Ew, you like the guy from that crappy sitcom?"

Oh good. I figured you would understand what I was trying to get at. But yeah, I guess sticking to his roots would be the best. Really I'll be happy whatever he's doing, just as long as he's performing.

See, I met Norbert while I was in NY (as you can tell) but didn't see the show. Oh the power of the stage door.

Hehe.
Okay...I'm in a pickle...
The NLB MySpace has had a couple comments wishing Norbert happy Passover etc...but he's not Jewish. I don't want to message them and make them feel dumb...but it's just random...Eh, whatever, not hurting anyone.
