I am more of a lurker on this thread, but I am so excited because I just bought my DRS tix. Finally get to see NLB live! Hope it's worth the wait! Thanks to all the posters for keeping the "Norbert Love" alive!

Hi hedwig--glad to see you posting! :) Congrats on your DRS tix! I haven't seen NLB live either (*sigh*) but I KNOW he'll be worth the wait.

DRS has updated its official Web site again. You can now download the screensaver. And there is a hilarious commercial now on the front page...it's a small box, that says "customs"? Something like that. I like the Brad Pitt/Jen Aniston joke at the end.

If it isn't online tomorrow, I will. It's long-ish.

He does talk about his name though, and doesn't tell the "my dad changed my birth certificate" story. Just says his birth was the first his father actually witnessed, and he was really moved and wanted to name that one Norbert. He figures his mom consented 'cause she was still drugged up.

*slaps Thespian Geek because she asked!*

Saw DRS again this afternoon! I have a feeling Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is going to make me VERY poor. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! And I heart Norbert very very much. And I have so much to tell you guys, but it's going to have to wait till after Rent! I'm gonna see Cary!!!! 'Tony Tony Tony'

And I gotta say, Broadway Betty's got balls!

And Emcee, your avatar! I can't believe it's not an Adam one!

Adam will be back, don't worry. Raul needed some time to dance in the spotlight of being an Emcee avatar.

hey, I forgot about that. *slaps thespian geek*.

Chrys: Can't wait to read that report!

BTW, on another messageboard (talkinbroadway), there was a great review of DRS from Feb 24. To summarize (since I don't feel comfortable c/p someone's post), funny bloopers:

Norbert missed his first entrance. So John stood waiting for a few seconds and said, "I'm waiting for my friend." Seconds pass: "You can watch my read this newspaper before he gets here." As more time elapses: "It's in Greek."

When Norbert finally arrives, and goes to where he was supposed to be, John proceeds with his lines. Norbert then says, "Just a sec...I'm still in the dressing room."

Later that night Joanna Gleason's entrance was delayed by a technical malfunction or something, so as they're waiting, John turned to Norbert and said, "This night has turned out to be full of surprises."

LMAO, they are so funny!

So, Chrys and I saw DRS and I acted very childish at the stage door. I'm just so sorry about it. I apologize to Norbert and his fans. I offended Thespian Geek greatly and I'm so sorry about that. I know what I did was wrong and I'm just so sorry.

Tony Tony Tony-Grrrrrrrrrr

This makes me angry...
I read the article Alejandra so kindly gave the link to AND the interview in the Times AND the little snippet of an article in Newsweek. Here's the thing. They each keep mentioning and alluding to the fact that Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will go head to head at the Tonys this year with Spamalot. The exact way The Full Monty went up against The Producers. The thing is, they all clearly show favoritism. You open up to page six in the arts section, and there is a ten question interview with Norbert with a teeny tiny black and white picture. The whole thing takes up maybe 1/3rd of the page. Then, you turn to page nine, and theres a huge, bright colorful picture taken from Spamalot. But wait, you turn to page eleven and there is a bright colorful picture of Sara Ramirez, taken from SPAMALOT.
Example number two: Newsweek. There is a two and a half page article on Spamalot. What is the rest of that half page? The ever so adorable teeny tiny article on Norbert.

My point is, it just seems like they've already made there choice. I mean, it is understandable for Spam to get more press because of the cast, but I'm so sick of hearing them compare the two. And to not even give them equal representation...What's that about?!

DRS is the far superior show. I leave it up to the Tony voters to remember that.
JOHN LITHGOW I just realized, your last name is Butz! Both "Norbert" AND "Butz" are in your name! You must have gotten picked on a lot as a child!
