Hi everybody! I'm back at the cafe for a bit while I try to find some info on the Rent location for today cuz I'm going back to the mountains of NY tomorrow. 
What I failed to mention yesterday was that I'm in love with Sara Ramirez and Christian Borle! They are fantabulos! Hedwig, you're gonna have a great time!
Wendy-I sat in the fourth row in the left orchestra. That was the closest I've ever seen Norbert perform, it was too much! I bought this ticket back in November, I guess that's why it's so close but you can always get lucky with a good seat on the same day. Um...about posting my pics, I wish I could take myself out of them. I made these weird faces and I look like I'm on something. John got entrance applause(of course), I cheered my tuchis off for Norbert(of course) and other fangirls up in the mezz joined me, Sherie got applause from the fangirls and I, Joanna got applause from most.
Before curtain time, I kept looking back cuz I got this crazy idea that the Rent cast, or at least Idina would be there, since they had taht day off but the only person I saw was Dan Rather, yuck!
Oh, and I met David Yazbeck! He was walking out of the satge door and I called him over. He was surprised that I knew who he was. I asked him to take a pic with me and he did! It was very cool. I worship that man, I can't believe that I met him! Some guy was like "Yo, people, that's David Yazbeck, he wrote the music" and everyone cheered.
Gotta go, talk to ya'll tomorrow. I really really miss youz guyz!

Tickets were on sale in November? I guess was only aware the box office opened Dec. 27.
Thanks for the update--I went online for April 3 and 10th tickets and could only get rear mezzanine (that using a discount). I want to see it again, but would rather not pay full price.

Hey everyone,
Happy St. Patrick's Day.. :)
wendy, I sent you a pm.
That's Ken Entertainment (?) has a new episode featuring the DRS opening night. It's not online yet but you can read about it at the link below. On that note, I saw the episode featuring the Wicked opening night, and while the host was VERY annoying (IMO), Norbert was so cute and funny in it. Can't wait to see the DRS segment (eventually).

I agree with wendy. It may take a bit of getting used to (esp. if you're used to hearing Norbert in a show like Wicked).The liner notes are very helpful. Once you are hooked, it's *enormously* addictive! Norbert and Sherie give amazing performances (you really do feel like they are really acting as they are singing) that are both sad and at times very funny. The show is beyond brilliant. JRB=genius.

Reading the early and decidedly mediocre Spamalot reviews--no standouts among the male leads, IMHO. Let's hope this brings Norbert one step closer to a much-deserved Tony!

hi wendy: what I love love about BWW is that it makes any picture an icon for you. :) That makes it easy.
Along the left side, under Login, click under "your settings" and edit your profile. You should see a link that says "image" and "upload photo". BWW will let you browse your computer files to find a photo saved on your computer that you'd like to use. It automatically resizes pictures and shows you what the picture will look like as a thumbnail. Pretty nifty!

Hi everyone! I've been away for a couple of days, just catching up on all the posts! Thanks for all the advice on what to see on my NY visit. Since Avenue Q is opening in Vegas soon I thought I'd wait to see it there rather than see it on Broadway. Slightly torn about it though...
By the way-I love all the new avatars!!
Broadway Betty: ecstatic to hear Norbert has no competition! Hope the "powers that be" agree!
Oh and Alejandra-initially my 2 favorite songs from TL5Y were "Still Hurting" and "See I'm Smiling" also:)
Right now I'm loving "The Schmuel Song", mostly because I'm a big sap and I love hearing Norbert sing that last line.
(Just wondering ((and asking in very timid voice)) has anyone seen Brooklyn, and is it as bad as they say?)

Oooh, I loved the Broadway Beat video! It has definitely brought me out of my bad mood. Oh, and thanks Alejandra for the DRS abridged page, I need to go read that!
Just wondering, where are you guys getting these awesome Norbert/Sherie pictures for your avatars? They make me smile!
Oh, and one more thing. Do you guys think that DRS will be available in the TKTS line in a few weeks? I know that they've been there, but I'm worried that when I go to NY over break they won't be up! (If only my advisor for the trip didn't wait until the last darn minute to try to get tickets for the show! Of course they're going to be sold out!)

They've been at TKTS...hadn't heard that...TDF,maybe, but that's something altogether different.
The pictures are from the cast recording of DRS on broadway.com.

Hey everybody, I'm back from the best 3 days ever! DRS on Tuesday, Spamalot on Wednesday, and Rent set on Thursday. I can't even put into words how great these days have been. I only wish that I could've hung out with Chrys, but I'll see her next week.
Isn't it the damndest thing that my picture with Norbert was the worst of the bunch, but he looks precious! And David Yazbeck looks adorable! And standing next to the gorgeous Sherie Rene Scott doesn't help the self-esteem much, but I'm glad I took them anyway.
There's so much stuff going through my head right now, I can't put any of it into words.
L5Y-If you're on this thread, you must love it! It's a great cast recording, I can't pick just one song. I wish I was into theater when it was Off-Broadway.

BB: I'm glad you had such a great time. How could it not be with that great line-up??!
I'm assuming you met up with Norbert and Sheri at the stage door-is that right? If yes, did you have to wait a long time?
Also, how was the Rent set? Did you get to meet any of the cast?
Okay, sorry so many questions!
And about TL5Y, I agree, it is a truly great recording. It is having a brief run here in SoCal and I am going to try and catch it this weekend. (Of course, won't be the same without Norbert and Sheri though!)

Is his part "better" than Lithgow's part in DRS???? I don't know anything about this musical really....but with the Producers it's easy to see that Max was the better part than Leo....
Also, it might help that Lithgow just won a tony in the category in 2002, and that Norbert is hot of his success in Wicked...

MTVMANN: I haven't seen DRS yet, but from what I hear, Norbert really has a bit more to do than John does. I guess maybe it's a more "showy" role. It really let's him shine and display his talents.
Oh, and I'm interested in hearing what you think of TL5Y recording. Did you get to hear it yet?

I think both John (as Dr. Shuffhausen) and Norbert (as "Buzz") have their opportunity to shine--but I would say Norbert has the role that is more "Max"-like. And he is so confident and charming in it.
