Official Norbert Leo Butz Love Thread — Page 108

I just saw the pics from Brilliant Mistake and I'm so sad that I missed it. I try not to think about these events b/c I know I can't go to them. I think the event would be a cool one to have recorded--on Sh-K-Boom! What a great lineup and, of course, Norbert!

Such happy news about an official website! I can't wait! It's long overdue.

Alejandra- I don't have Looking For An Echo but it's on my wish list. So is The Confidence Man. I just bet he sounds great, what else would you expect from Norbert?!

I was watching the show tunes channel yesterday and Great Big Stuff came on and it made me so happy. lol It put me in a mood and I listened to DRS for the first time in a long time, it was great!

So this news about John's replacement made me really sad b/c now Stokes can't perform in DRS with Norbert. I was desperatley hoping it would happen but no.

Sorry this was so long but I haven't been around much lately and am making up for it.

Oh! And for those of you who don't live in the NY area and want to buy DRS stuff, it's now available on both broadwaynewyork.com and thebroadwaycollection.com. Just in case ya'll didn't know.

Chrys! Ya know, I've been gathering nuts for the winter and such. I must say that your av makes me very happy. I've been thinking of little else since I saw Sweeney and am plotting in my wee little head how and when I can see it again. They played "Johanna" and "By The Sea" on the showtunes channel the other day. Made me so happy! I need the original and revival cds so bad right now, it's making me crazy. Do you know when they are recording it? And I'm sorry about Chitty.

I don't drink so Ragtime is soothing the pain I have from Stokes not replacing John. Btw, has anyone seen John's soup commercial? It almost looks like a DRS commercial with the music and dancing and sets and costumes but no sign of Norbert. lol

You're seeing DRS on the 19th, eh? Are you also seeing a matinee? I just might bump into you b/c that's the day about 20 of us are getting together to see the Naked Girl matinee. Anyway, I hope Norbert is there for you on the 19th!

So, who has some Norbert mojo? lol

I was thinking about getting tickets for John's last show--Is it January 8th?

Well I am seeing the show again tomorrow and I already have tickets to John's last show -Sun Jan 8th - Row B. I had to choose btwn seeing Shoshana's last in Wicked and John's last in DRS. Being that I have a lot of history with DRS, I chose John's last show. I will see Shoshana for the last time Jan 7th. Oh and Patronus, I will be in the city that night and I'd love to meet you. The NLB site should be up by then and you know we need your pic with Norbert to complete it.

Was gonna post about the video...

Patronus, good luck with the show! Couldn't imagine why Norbert wouldn't be in. But warning, I know from experience (have seen DRS 10 times) esp. after 2 shows he's understandably exhausted, will certainly make sure everyone gets an autograph, you can snap pics of him but I highly doubt he'll take pics w/ you (if so, you could be pleasantly surprised!) He'll probably be in a rush too, so...just prepare for that...if you want to say something, say it quickly, etc.

I too have tickets for John's last show Row A(second row) of center.

But newgirl, don't fret too much about missing John. He has been wonderful in the show and will be missed, but I am also excited about his replacement. though it hasn't been officially announced/released, I've been given permission to unofficially confirm that Jonathan Pryce will be replacing Lithgow, and I am very excited to see him in the role. He's a wonderful actor, singer and dancer and I could see him being fabulous in the role.

Can't have this on page 2. Bump time!

I was in the left side balcony because we won the lotto (Two kids less than 10 were behind me lol). And the drummer was attacked? I was so far up that I think I missed it. All I heard was the Norbert comment and Greg mentioned it after. Did you see what happened?

Ah! So that was what happened! Neat story. I saw Tom look down to check and then Norbert completely forgot his line. That was hilarious. And as for this children, they were actually well behaved. I and my GF were not bothered at all. We had a ball, a blast (and it was a shame it couldn't last).

Update on the NLB website:

The site is pretty much 100% done. I am simply tweaking a few things here and there. Just waiting for Norbert to reply (hurry up Norb!) and I will get it up and running. Needless to say, I am psyched. The site contains so much information about Norbert and his shows and I hope it will be the def Norbert Leo Butz source. Be ready soon, my co webmasters.

Yaay Penguin--it's nofe air though, I was gonna see it last Sat but I lost lotto and it wasn't on TKTS so essentially I had to pay full price my 11th time, couldn't do it.

Hmm, may try to see it this weekend if I don't take a trip to DC.

sp78, that'd be great if you end up going the same night I go!

P- I haven't decided yet, but it is so easy to try.

WRQ- I figured there were crazier ones out there, but I think we share the BWW record, and I have really fallen off by being out of town for three months of that time. My "percentage" of available times is very high.

ETA: WRQ wins.
