Posted: 6/8/05 at 12:55amYou were doing all that in the center orchestra? That's certainly not old and stuffy!

well, what did you think all that hooting and hollering was all about?
Oh, and Norbert rocked the casbah during his first post-Tony performance

"There were some fans (girls, mostly) in the mezzanine who whooped it up when he got undressed for his 'love scene'... cute!"
Um Addy..that would've been me.
I missed nibbling on my Cookie last night.

Tell me were there any references to "if you give a chimp a Tony"? I am so jealous! But so glad you had a great time.

"I missed nibbling on my Cookie last night."
*ahem*
Anything else you missed, Boobs?!
Mom, they didn't alter the show in any way. Other than Lithgow giving praise to Norbert at the end of the DRS number.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 12:20pm..is NORBS, sweet NORBS...ok, just a little nutty today, but this popped into my head, and where else but here to post such a thought?
#1590What the world needs now..

wendy, I'm a little nutty everyday, so it's OK. :)
I think DRS/John acknowledged Norbert's Tony win in the perfect way. I like ad-libs as much as anyone, but it was nice knowing that the show wasn't altered.
What are everyone's favorite lines from DRS? I like singing along with Oklahoma and Here I Am ("these fries are French!")

One of my favorites--there are many--is "Gout" said during the end of "GBS"--too bad they did not keep that in the Tony performance. For me, it is representative of what I love about DRS.
Ok, how many times has everyone who taped the Tonys replayed Norbs acceptance speech--I'll admit to 4, not counting watching it live. He looked nervous (imho) as the nominees in his category were being named--sort of like, I know I'm favored, but I'm going to vomit if they don't say my name. Tim Curry looked a little a little nervous too. Hank, by comparison, looked totally relaxed.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 2:48pmHonestly, I don't think the guys in "Spam" really actually CARED too much about the award. They're all doing the show just for fun. Most of them are all big stars already.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 3:41pmThere are 4 moment s that absolutely lay me out. 1)Norb's "nope" in "Ruffhausen 2) The whimper in Ruffhausen 3)his "Wauugh" in Love is My Legs and of course "alive in your socks" I can't play this in public cos I break out so hysterically in laughter & it's SO hard to explain to the folk around u who don't have a head set on.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 4:07pmI also like "Oh my God it turns!" and there is alot more.
The towel waving reminded me of a Per?nist rally. I kept chanting "Evita!" whenever they'd pan to the crowds. - SM2

I've seen Norb's acceptance speech 3 times thus far. I love it!
I probably would watch it more if I wasn't slightly irked that Norb was cut off.
Oooh, I love "Oh, my God, the whole thing turns!"
I also love the way Sherie/Christine says, "Who is the one person in the entire world you would most like to see at this moment?" and Norbert/Freddy's, "Um, grandma?" LOL!
And during Ruffhousin:
Lawrence: This little piggy says....
Freddy: Nothing
The "nothing" kills me, LOL
And when Lawrence/John is yelling, "Let's yodel!"
So.funny.
