I am HOPING that Norb gets a nice juicy role in a major film that then make tonnes o $$$. Raise his profile & give him the career leverage to pick & choose whatever he wants, theatre, recordings, film, tv. Show the world what quality is !

Well said Sabrelady, but I don't want to lose him from Broadway. 
Petty I know but I need my Norbs live.
Hey it could be great Thespian, I'd buy it!

A movie would be good, too. Haha, I live in Nebraska so seeing Norbert live on stage isn't an every day option for me. 
But him on DVD? That is!

Norb DVD that would be cool stuff.
I think he should do a movie, but let him film it in NYC!
He could become a big big star. I actually think he could probably pull off a great TV show, but it would need to be the right vehicle.

He could pull a Patrick Wilson.. film a movie during the day and do a Broadway show at night! Of course, Patrick isn't tied down with two daughters. So.

Norb might be able to do it, since if he does this now he can work less for the next couple years.

thespian geek: so glad you got to have the 1,000 post.
ITA that Norbert could be great on a TV show (maybe on cable so that he could push the envelope a little more). Kristin had her own show for awhile, and Taye is doing Kevin Hill. I really wouldn't want Broadway to lose Norbert to films and TV, but it would be great if he could do both, like Patrick Wilson is now. Idina is also doing theatre and film projects and should be big after the Rent film. (Ha, suddenly I want to cast Idina and Norbert in a smart romantic comedy!) I'd love to see Norbert work with some other favorite actors, like Kevin Spacey. And he already has the same quirky funny brilliance of Steve Martin or Bill Murray.
The boy *so* needs a solo cd. If anyone sees DRS soon, please ask him if he'd do a CD with Sh-K Boom. :)

She's also on The West Wing, now.
Hehe. I'll also pester him about a CD with Sh-K-Boom when I see the show in August.

Well, I wish while in DRS some casting agent--or Steven Speilberg--casts him in something that uses all his talents. When I was watching DRS last Saturday, I thought some of his responses as Sgt. Buzz Benson reminded me of Sean Hayes in W&G. Maybe Norbert can be on a series where he makes $600,000 an episode and then he can do Broadway as he pleases!

I'd love to see him in a play...something old or traditional, maybe Shakespearish!!!

Note-Picture of Norbs at the Drama Desk reception--he is a busy guy these days!
I wish they would have him perform "Great Big Stuff" on Lettermann--maybe after the Tony noms come out??
Alejandra-What songs are you particularly enjoying on the DRS OBC?

Those pics are great! :) I hope Broadway.com has more, too.
An article back in February said that David Letterman was trying to get Norb on the show. Hmmm, hope it happens soon! Idina was on Late Show in Oct 2003, Taye back in March (?) Kristin just a few weeks ago, so Norb needs to be on, too!
The songs I enjoy the most are Here I Am (I love trying to sing along with it even if I can't belt like Sherie LOL), Nothing is Too Wonderful to Be True (and the Miracle) is probably my *favorite*, and Love is My Legs.
How about you?

I am loving "Great Big Stuff" and "Son of Great Big Stuff"--esp where Norbs says "I WIN, I WIN, I WIN I WIN I WIN"--and then is conflicted at the end between "having great big stuff" and "nothing is too wonderful"--how his voice breaks into this great melodic sound when he gives into "nothing is too wonderful."
Also, "The More We Dance "--really a great showcase for John's comedic talents--and I love the lyrics.
When are you seeing the show? And do you know when the Sheri and Norbs interview at the American Theatre Wing will be up to view? (You are a great resource for things like that..)

I don't know anything new and I have not seen DRS since last week so I'm in withdrawal, still listening to the OBCR constantly though (well along with the Last 5 Years)
I hope "Great Big Stuff" will be done at the Tony's but do you think they might try something that highlights John and Sherie too? I was thinking they could rewrite "Dirty Rotten Number" or do a huge medley? Somehow I don't see CBS allowing "All About Ruprecht" on the air.

I think they'll do Dirty Rotten Number--but if Lithgow is not nominated, maybe they'll do Great Big Stuff--think "Hummers in my Hummer" will fly with the censors, though?
I think a medley would be great--Sherie can sing "Here I am".

I'm afraid "hummers in my hummer" will become something like "blueberies in my pancakes"
I love the idea of a medley, "Give em what they want" bam, "what was a woman to do", "Like Zis/ Like Zat", "Great big Stuff", "Here I am" and "Dirty Rotten Number"
I know they would never do all that, but I'd love to see it, so everyone can get a chance. I'm still hoping the big 5 will all get noms.

Of anyone who might be a surprise nom, I hope it's Greg Jbara--he does a great job and I'd love to see that happen. He seems like a great guy , too . (Love that line he says, "They also make cheese.." during his scene with Joanna.)
Norbs and Sherie will be nominated, probably John, not sure about Joanna. We'll see soon enough..

I really, really want Greg and Joanna to pick up nominations, I can't see either of them winning, but the noms I would love. Actually I would love to see them win as well, but I can't imagine it.
John I want to see up there instead of a second or "God Forbid" a third Spamalot guy.
Sherie and Norbert need to be absolute locks.
