Will do. I just hope it won't be like when I saw Chitty and I was just disappointed I was not at DRS.

No, I think you'll like it, it really is charming.

But...it's no Avenue Q, which I loved!!

HI everyone! Sorry I've been away...no internet at my home. How's everyone doing? I start my internship on Monday so HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get on more often.

Just wanted to let you all know I didn't get to see DRS this week Also, i checked three stores & no DRS CD. I wanted to buy two (one for my house, one for my apartment, & the special edition for my car!) Anyone else not find them near you? I hope DC will have some!!!

They are getting them out, but slowly.
Sorry you could not make the show, Pinky.
As for Spelling Bee:
I enjoyed it immensly, as many have said the book is fabulous but the score just does not stick with you. It doesn't quite click in every area, but it is heartfelt, sweet, and very funny.
I would recommend it for the book and performances. They really cracked me up.

Hooray for Norbs and DRS winning Drama League awards! I heard about some sort of backlash against Spamalot a couple days ago. I think we have a race on our hands! Can you believe the Tonys are 2 weeks away?!

SP-I'm glad that you enjoyed Bee. I can't wait to see it, it looks really cute. Did you buy your tix in advance? Was it hard to get a good seat?

I bought my ticket over a month ago. I have not been checking to see how much availabilty there was now. I think Bee is probably my third favorite of the new shows, but it was fantastically funny.

This is heaven for us Norb/DRS lovers--all these pics of Norbs (including my new avatar)from the Drama League awards. He looks adorable--great tie!

I found a pic of Norbert in his DRS dressing room, thanks to Bruno Press.

Re: Drama League Awards

What I thought was funny: Sherie's scarf and Norbert's tie were the same color. :)

Alejandra-My heart skipped a beat as I was scrolling down to see this entire pic of Norbs in his dressing room---sigh--love his pants/love this man. Jeez, I'm obsessed!

**sigh**

Those pics are fabulous... I feel so spoiled with all these great pictures around for my viewing pleasure. Thanks for posting those Alejandra!

I LOVE your avatar Wendy! I almost used it myself, you beat me to it! :)

It really is a glorious time to be a Norbert fan.

The pictures are so ridiculously fantastic I can't stand it.

Drama Desks are 5/22-I'll be away, but can't wait to hear the good (fingers crossed) news when I return.

The ceremony will be taled and will be shown on PBS on 5/29 from 12-2pm, I believe.

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 5/14/05 at 5:37pm

So, he's already won the Outer Critics and a Drama League Award, right? Nice.

wendy, I know what you mean about your heart skipping a beat. Mine too! That pic of him in the dressing room is precious, and I love seeing Sherie and Norb everywhere. It's nice to dress up the thread with some images!

The DRS official Web site has been updated. There's a new contest--prizes for fans who write the funniest taglines for DRS ads.

Hey Rufhausin just started for me, first listen to the "offical" obcr! Headed to the DRS site as we speak. So excited for Norb. I hope I can hear about the Desk Award soon after it happens, but I'll be trapped in the NC woods with no internet so we'll see.
-I love "dressing" the thread though.

smart penguin, I am envious! I got an e-mail from Amazon saying that they shipped my order Thursday, so hopefully it'll be here by Monday.

Well knowing where you are, and I'm not bragging since I will be there in a little over a week myself, and where I am, I'm not surprised I got mine first.

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 5/14/05 at 6:01pm

smart penguin: LOL. I love NC but it means experiencing all the Broadway fun vicariously!

Trapped in the mountains without Internet access? How will you survive?!

A.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 5/14/05 at 6:03pm

I have not figured that part out yet, I'm hopeing to be able to get on on weekends and catch all the updates from you guys.
Otherwise I will go insane.
I'm excited to go back to the mountains though, I like my nice balance.

[broadway betty]

Posted: 5/14/05 at 8:10pm

Alejandra-Thank you for that pic of Norbert in his dressing room, I luvz it!

SP-I can't see how you'll be able to function without internet access.

If I had stuck with Amazon, I would've gotten DRS today but because of my unpatience I have to be patient to wait till Sh-K-Boom sends it out to me.

I wonder when DRS will have the souvenir programs. I want me one of those!

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 5/14/05 at 11:23pm

smart penguin: I hope you're able to check in with us weekly, so you won't go insane. :) (I so would be!) Will you be trapped in the woods all summer?

BTW, how do you like the alternate version of Nothing is Too Wonderful to Be True on the "official" OBCR?

broadway betty: "unpatient", eh? LOL. I hope you get your CD soon! Chrys & I have talked about how Sh-K Boom prob. needs more help in making sure their cds get out in a reasonable timeframe.

I will be from May 23rd until August 1. Banner Elk, NC working as a counselor to the counselors and Drama instructor at a summer camp. i'll be able to leave some but it is so different.

unpatient is like impatient with the patience totally removed.
Nothing is too wonderful to be true: I love Sherie's voice, I am not used to the changed style at all though, I think it will need to grow on me to reach the heights of the rest of the disk.
Yazbeck doing "Here I Am" and "Ruprecht" is hilarious though, he even uses some weird accent in

Hey guys-There is a review of the DRS cast album on playbill.com, which is basically a love letter to the show...go check it out! The writer really "gets" the score, and even predicts a Tony for our Norbs.
