Official Norbert Leo Butz Love Thread — Page 38

Hey Wendy, thanks for sharing all of those observations! How were Joanna and Sara last night?

Honestly, esp. since Norb has been in the show every night since previews, it's really hard to imagine what his standby and understudy would be like in the role. The whole show, in fact--I wonder how amazing it would be with a replacement cast rather than this OBC.

Im new on this thread but I LOVE Norbert. Cant wait to see him in DRS. Its eating me alive.

Alejandra-Joanna and Sherie were both great, particularly Sherie. I was impressed with her the first time I saw the show because she nailed the role so expertly (comparing her with Glenne Headly from the movie, whom I loved). Her chemistry with both the leads was believable to a greater extent this time, particularly with John. My friend, with whom I saw the show the first time as well as last evening, kept commenting on her amazing voice and the ease with which she sang.

This show is a MUST for Norbert fans, not only becausue he sings beautifully, he showcases his many talents and gets to go wild on stage, which is totally appropriate for the character he is playing.

Just finished listening to "All about Ruprecht" and it brought back such memories of the scene--I am on a Broadway/DRS high today!

Wanted to add DRS was on TKTS at 35% off for the 8pm show--just an FYI..no idea where the seats were.

Forgot to mention-In NY yesterday, I spotted Seth Rutsetsky, Christian Borle, and Liev Schrieber...who is very good looking.

Listening to the DRS CD I received Saturday nite, I could not keep a smile off my face, especially after really hearing he words to "Ruffhousin'" and "The More We Dance"--example of the lyrics "When we guffaw, in his ga-face". Hilarious!

Seeing Norbs move and rock out in some scenes of DRS, I can only imagine in "Rent" he was very sexy.

I van only imagine, I'd love to see that too.
Ruffhausin is really funny with the way John really bounces and prances around the stage.

Norbs cannot be on page 2! bump

I echo Pinky's words entirely. broadway betty, you are wonderful and so generous! :)

Almost to 1,000... *squeal!*

Yes Betty it is fabulous, wow, I can not get enough. And Pinky and Alejandra book your tickets the second you can, Norbert's dance in Ruprecht is worth the trip on its own. Then there is "Great Big Stuff" which is just outlandishly awesome! Through in Sherie's voice and John's eyes and there is no way to miss.

And just because I want to be the 1,000th post... LOL!! YAY! *Tosses confetti*

I'm just thinking he will actually have his pick of jobs after all this, no more Fiyerro type settling. I would watch him in "Norbert wallpapers a house" anyway.

That should be it! Solo Norbert sings... well again anything Welsh Belching songs I don't care.
