"If you haven't seen DRS then stop listening and go buy tickets. If you've seen it, go buy tickets again. And pay full price! I've got kids in college and a mortgage!"

I'm assuming that's the message from John Lithgow. Am I right?

Wow, I'm so excited to get this CD!! I've already preordered it, but I can't wait any longer! Gah! I'm going insane!

That is great stuff Betty, I'm glad I was frozen up trying to talk or I might have said the same. I want them to win (except for not seeing Bee yet) so badly and don't think they have a chance it makes me so sad, I love this show so much!
Only: Yes it is and its perfectly delivered!

OTGDY-Yes, it's John Lithgow. It's really funny, so fitting for the show.

SP-I didn't mean it like I don't think that they have a chance. I meant that Chrys and I were specifically talking about best score Tony and I blurted it out to DY that I think HE should win best score. The producers win best musical but I meant that I wanted to see him win the Tony for his score. See, I can't explain what's in my head, OY!

I understand BwBetty, its my pessimism that makes me think they wont win Best Musical. I am really hoping for score though. My biggest problem is I didn't just think DRS was better than Spamalot, I really hated Spamalot and would love to see DRS wipe it away. Anyway, my guy always loses in elections so I even have the horrible fear the very, very misused Tim Curry will somehow beat out my Norby. Hopefully its just paranoia!!

smart penguin-Don't even think about Tim Curry winning the Tony over Norbert! Na-na-na-na-na, I can't hear you! I will not accept anyone other than Norbert winning the Tony, I just won't!

Nor will I, nor will I, I have to say terrible things to ensure they don't happen.
Norbert and Norbert alone for the TONY!!

Now, that's more like it! It would be so unbelieveably wrong if anyone else walked away with the Tony. I know I'm a fan and I love him but I'm telling you that no one can take this away from him, he's too good!

Betty, you haven't seen Chitty yet! So I don't wanna hear you talk about the Tony race!

*French taunter tongue sticking out at Chrysanthemum*
Norbert! Tony! Norbert! Tony!

Just as we thought, Norbert has been nominated for a Drama Desk award! But the rest of the noms are a bit disturbing. DRS has 10 in all and it looks very good! Sherie, Gregory, and Joanna all have noms but no John. And my Sara Ramirez wasn't nominated, I'm going to cry my eyes out! *cries "why Sara, why!!!"

But yay for Norbs! He's on the road to many awards. It's about time to start putting that shelf up! Was it sabrelady who said that?

[broadway betty]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 11:21am

Sorry for the Spam icon but I'm in a very disturbed state that Sara wasn't nominated.

I agree-- hurray for Norbs, Sherri, Joanna and Greg...esp. Greg. He deserves to be recognized.

[Pinky]

BUMP--back to the first page you go Norbie!!!

I'm so excited for all the awards coming Norbert's way. It's about time he was recognized for his fabulous talents!!!

Wendy--love your pic...isn't Norbert so cute in that hat?!?!?!

[wendy72]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 8:02pm

Unbelievably adorable! Anyone want to comment on how he looks up close & personal?

[Pinky]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 8:04pm

I never had the chance to see him up close & personal....wish I could. Come on friends--tell us about your encounters....details please

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 8:53pm

I'm sorry chrysanthemum, I cant get behind Raul on this one. I love him but Norbert has me hooked. Pinky you have to get close to Norb he is the sweetest little man ever. He is about a half inch shorter than me I think :)

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 11:03pm

smart penguin, your avatar is adorable!

LOL, Norb wouldn't be a "little man" to me. Like Kristin Chenoweth, I'm 4'11 (and a half). Oh, how I envy taller people....!

Raul rules, he's amazing...but I want Norbert to win. :)

Thanks I am really fond of it :)
My mom was about 4'9, I love shortness.
Norbert is just adorable at any height!

*jumps into love thread*

I recently got the Last Five Years recording, and I MUST MUST MUST join you people on this wonderful thread for this wonderful man.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 11:26pm

Welcome Allie, you have made a wise and magnificent decision!

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 4/29/05 at 12:10am

I join smart penguin in saying, Welcome, Allie! (and nice avatar, too, btw).

Ah, the wonder of hearing L5Y for the first few times! L5Y is probably my favorite show (along with tick, tick...Boom!), I love it so much. Which songs do you enjoy the most? I have a mini-obsession with the Schmuel Song and Still Hurting.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 1:03am

Thanks for the warm welcome, you guys!

Yeah, I'm in love with the entire CD of L5Y! It's just so... great, hehe. As for which songs I enjoy the most, I'd have to say Moving Too Fast, and The Next Ten Minutes. And If I Didn't Believe In You, and Summer In Ohio. Ah, geez, I love them all!!

[smartpenguin78]

Norbs was almost to page two! I thought a bump was in order. :)

Welcome to the Norbert lovefest, Allie! You're a legend, cool! I LOVE L5Y because it really shows off his vocal and acting abilities. He sounds so sexy on that recording. But don't make me pick just one song. I can't!

I had a mini meltdown yesterday cuz Sara wasn't nominated but I'm back to my Norbert lovin' ways! I think DRS will do really well in all the different awards ceremonies. David Yazbeck writes some of the funniest music I've ever heard, he really deserves to be recognized by the Wings and Desks and Guilds.

I've been listening to the DRS cd ALOT and I'm in love with it! Besides a couple tracks, it's been the first time hearing them outside of the theater. I keep playing Ruprecht over and over imagining the little dance that Norbert does at the end. I love that dance! I wonder if Jerry choreographed it or if Norbs made it up on his own?

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 4/29/05 at 1:44pm

That dance is fabulous!
I have never heard L5Y, I really really want to now.
I'm afraid I'll wear out my DRS cd by the weekend I'm to about 30 times through it now and still can't stop. Although I'm on a Little Night Music, interlude at the moment.
