Official Norbert Leo Butz Love Thread — Page 23

FabalaYero85, thanks for the heads up. I replied to your thread in SB. =)

I would love for Idina to present Norbert with his Tony (if he wins). That would be so ideal!

I think John Lithgow is going to be on today's NY's "Live at Five", for those in the NY area.

Alejandra--I missed him--I started watching at 5:30 and he was not on---must have been on 5-5:30--I should have taped it!

I don't know why it's taken me so darn long to post on this thread!

Adore him. As does my niece. I am so thrilled he has such an exciting role and that he is just SHINING in it!

emcee: that's cool that your mom adored DRS! Since my family doesn't live in NY, I end up seeing shows on tour. My mom enjoyed Aida when she saw it in NY, thought Miss Saigon was OK(she enjoyed Phantom better) and fell asleep during Beauty and the Beast. LOL.

wendy: too bad we missed John but he'll probably turn up at another interview. He did Conan last week...but apparently they didn't even talk about DRS! Go figure.

NYadgal: hi and welcome to the thread! *waves* Norbert is totally adorable. It's so great that he's having a ball in DRS.

Broadway.com posted a photo gallery of the DRS cast recording. These are ADORABLE! I hope this link works, if not, Broadway.com has them (and they're worth looking at lol).

DRS recording photos

The pictures are great, and it's clear this cast really enjoys each other. (BTW-Sherie's baby is adorable.)

Looking forward to getting the cast album when it comes out!

Going back a few posts, does anyone have a link for DRS Abridged?

Woo, yay, Chrys--no music library is complete without L5Y. :)

Sherie and Kurt's baby is unbelievably cute!

All of the pictures are darling.

The March 14 installment of Broadway Beat has video from DRS opening night. John, Joanna, Gregory and Sara are very gracious, Sherie is hysterical ("can I cuss?" LOL) and Norbert has some great things to say about Jack O'Brien. He says it's the best time he's ever had onstage, being in DRS.

If you want to fast forward, the DRS segment starts at around the 12 minute mark.

BroadwayBeat DRS video

Hey guys,

wendy: I've only been a Norbert fan since October of last year. A friend got me into Wicked, then L5Y shortly thereafter. I loved him in Wicked dearly but L5Y...it was like a revelation. He's uber talented. Since then I've been taking a "crash course" of sorts on current musical theatre on Broadway, used to only seeing shows on tour (I live in the South). I've never seen/heard Norbert live, having to rely mainly on recordings and *cough*footwear*cough*. I've pretty much caught up on Norbert, through extensive Web surfing/reading, etc. Now I feel like I need to do the same thing with Raul Esparza LOL.

Another thing that's sort of funny, is that although I enjoyed Norbert's L5Y songs when I first heard them, it was really Sherie's songs (esp. Still Hurting and See I'm Smiling) that got me hooked on the entire show. Maybe it's because to me they were more immediately acccessible. Now I absolutely love the entire disc.

chrys: I didn't notice it last night but...I heart your new avatar. :) Are they not the cutest people ever? LOL.

The Broadway Abridged DRS link is on page 22. :)

Footwear--care to elaborate? I respect your privacy if you don't.

Hey guys *waves*, I'm in an internet cafe in Times Square. I saw DRS last night and it was so much fun! I was so close to the stage, I couldn't believe it. Norbs was exhausted but very sweet and I took a pic with him! Sherie, too!

And I just saw Spamalot! I got one of the last tickets for today's matinee ten minutes before DRS last night. Norbert has no competition! Tim Curry is wonderful but Norbert's performance is far superior!

I just wanted to say hi cuz I missed you guys!

I'm glad that you had fun at DRS betty. I'm dying to see this show again.

Is Norbert Irish?
