#1525Norbert in DRS through February!
Posted: 6/7/05 at 2:42pm
Hello everyone! Just crashing the party to say how happy I am for Norbert! I cried during his speech. Well, I'd started to cry after they cut to Kelli O'Hara during Victoria Clark's speech, and never quite recovered. I'm so proud of them.
My dad, who has very little interest in theatre, called to say he watched the performance of "Great Big Stuff." He is a Norb fan; we saw him and Sherie in RENT, and they were my dad's favorites. I'm taking him to DRS in August!
hedwig14 - I love your avatar, where'd you find the photo?
Okay, that's all. Yay Norbert!

Posted: 6/7/05 at 3:22pmI saw DRS on 5/21 and a cell phone rang during the performance...and you all KNOW how Norb HATES that. I wish you could have seen the look on his face up there. I was ready for a really cool adlib, but I heard he did that once and was "admonished" for it.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 3:45pmI do! It's when he was in "Wicked"...there is a reference to animals being put in cages in the show, and Norbs (as Fiyero) said "I think people with cell phones should be put in cages" in reaction to someone whose cell phone kept ringing.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 4:21pmRegarding the lottery, you're right, it will be crowded because DRS is a must-see and it's July 4th weekend...but it will make it all the more special when my name is called! LOL

Posted: 6/7/05 at 4:45pmHello all. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Let me just say that I am still on a high that Norb won. Today in chours we watched the Tony profromances and all the kids likked DRS. My teacher also enjoyed it. I might be seeing the show again soon since school is almost out. Ony 9 more days left.
The towel waving reminded me of a Per?nist rally. I kept chanting "Evita!" whenever they'd pan to the crowds. - SM2

Billy Crystal was on David Letterman recently, talking about much he HATES cell phones during a performance, his reactions to the audience member responsible, and how utterly distracting it is.
Norbert's adlibs are priceless!
thespian geek: yeah, sure I'm biased, but to me the prettiest woman at the Tonys: Idina Menzel.

Broadway.com has updated its photo galleries. One is exclusively the DRS after party. Cute pics of Norbert! My favorite? Norbert & Idina. :)
BTW, re: Kelli O'Hara, I didn't realize she was dating Greg Naughton, who's a good friend of Sh-K Boom. Plus, Kelli's also worked with John Lithgow. I love how everyone is connected!

Posted: 6/7/05 at 6:33pmI agree. Idina look beautiful. I think she got a really bum deal presenting the techie awards.

Oooh...these pictures are definitely making my night! And you KNOW I've been saving them all to my ever growing folder full of Norbert pics!
Yeah, I can't wait to hear how his entrance applause is! I'd kill to be there tonight! When I went (back in March), there were only a few others besides my friends and I who were clapping wildly for him as he came out. Of course they all cheered insanely loud for him at curtain call though! He'll finally get the recognition he SO deserves because of this!
Man, I don't think I can wait any longer to see DRS again! My family and best friend are visiting NYC in late July (to visit colleges, but who cares about that right?) and I'm already getting psyched up to see it again. Sadly, it'll probably be the last time I'll get to see Norby in DRS since he's leaving in February, but that'll make it all the better!
This is off topic but, school's out for summer and I'm finally a senior!! WOO! Okay, I just had to get that out. But this means that I'll finally be able to keep up with this thread! Oh, and DRScoundrel, keep the pics coming! I love 'em!

Posted: 6/7/05 at 7:15pmHopefully I will see DRS again in the summer. I want to see Norb again. I already got to meet him but I forgot to ask for a hug. Also I want my picture taken with John.
