Hey Pinky! That pooch is precious!

I just found out that Chrysanthemum and I are celebrating her return from the south on the 27th with a trip to DRS! I'm so excited to see her after 3 months and I'm so excited to see DRS again! And then I'm going to Matt's final performance in Piazza on the 28th. I mention that cuz you guys know you love Matt, too!

Btw, there's a Piazza souvenir program and I can't wait to get my paws on it!

Ooh such fun Betty! There is no way I can wait that long to see DRS since I will be back in the City on SATURDAY!!! Yay! I may be down there on the 28th though so we can have a southern style watchin' party

I had no idea Matt was leaving Piazza, a return to that is also added to my immediate MUST list.
I saw a production of the Last Five Years in Abingdon, VA on Sunday night, it was extremely good (especially the young lady playing Cathy, she was fabulous) but it made me miss Norbert so much, the Jamie just did not have the emotional complexity to pull off the role, which was exaserbated by the power of th e Cathy and the image of Norbert doing the role (which is fanttasy, alas I never saw him do it) I have in my mind. I have listed to L5Y so many time s this summer it is ridiculous, and I have brought in two Hard Core L5Y/Norbert-Sherie fans. It is amazing to see a person liostenb to that disc for the first time. Jason, Norbert and Sherie just thinking about it makes me tear up and become overwhelmed with the sheer brilliance, and cry from the pain of those songs.

I would have dreamed that Norbert was in the version of the Last Five Years that I saw, but then I would have died.
For replacement in DRS, I want someone totally different, but am still totally unsure of who I would select. (Probably not Hunter or Chris on first thought though)
What is ALAYM? I feel I should know but too much time in the North Carolina sun has me bamboozled, I am a bit cold natured.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Hey SP! So glad you'll be back soon, we really miss you around here! I might bump into you on Saturday if you choose to jump right back into the theatre district b/c I'll be in the city this weekend, yay!

You MUST see Piazza with Matt one more time, he's glorious! Definitely is worthy of a second trip. Piazza=happy betty :)

Though it wasn't the cast we know and love, you're still lucky to have seen a production of L5Y. No one could fill Norbert's shoes. It's good that you've been getting your theatre fix in the south, and at a cheaper price I'm sure.

I've had Norb related dreams before, lol. All very funny and random. Like one time I was at DRS and I was in the side seat that he goes onto and somehow I accidentally tripped him and then I wound up on stage and a part of a show. Then we went to dinner. And then...my alarm went off. ::sigh:: lol.

I've been listening to Elaine Stritch at liberty about 20 times in the past few weeks and my weirdest dream, involved her Ethel MErman and Norbert. In the show she talks anbout watching Ethel Merman from the wings of the imperial when Elaine was standby in a show. Merman sings about giving away money and some drunk slob keeps harrasing her to give him the money. Merman stops mid song and escorts him out, then without a break returns and finishes. Stritch gives a hilarious anbd detailed account of her exciting the imperial anmddumping the bum on west 45th.
In my dream Norbert, while singing Love is My Legs does this same thing, but he hasd Stritches voice and out in the audience, in character konks the guy on the head and hides him under my seat. Weird I think, but it was fun, I do love those were somehow I wind up in the show as well, I've had a few of those.

I'm really glad to have been able to see L5Y, especially since I only paid 12 dollars, and as I said the girl playing Cathy was worth way more than that on her own, the staging was incredible as well. Just a little underwhelmed by the Jamie, since there is just so much power that can be in those songs.

Ah ALAYM, I have not touched Wicked in months, so I was bit confused. but that song, yum. I will have to break it out now. Norbert made that part for me. I thought you were taslking about a Cast Recording I had never heard of and was in panic mode for a moment.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

I'd be all for it, after I land and when I'm not already scheduled to see a show. (sometime on Sunday I'm seeing Merily we Roll Along's last performance!)

SP! :)

Thrilled to hear you saw a production of L5Y. The one I saw in Raleigh (put on by Lauren Kennedy's family, as part of their summer series) was very good. Norbert and Sherie are two of my favorite people on earth, but Kate Shindle was a memorable Cathy. Fiestier and not as emotionally needy, but it was a different take on the character that I appreciated. I didn't like the Jamie as much. He wasn't bad at all, but Norbert leaves such an impression.

Alejandra-
That seems like a legit assesment of the show I saw as well, I am terrible with names and missplaced my program, but when I get it I will share the performers names.

I don't think this was discussed here but I wanted to mention that I'm very excited about the new Off-Broadway musical The Great American Trailer Park Musical. It has a great cast, headed by Orfeh, and one of the characters is named Norbert.

I listened to DRS for the first time in a long time today and I must say that the opening number has really grown on me, it's a much better song than I thought after I first saw the show. And I noticed this the first time I heard the CR but I thought I'd bring it up. At the end of the finale, they sing "dirty rotten guys like uuuuuus", but they don't sing "us" in the show. I feel a bit cheated that I don't get that ending note in the show. Why have it on the recording but not in the show?

I saw The Pillowman on Thursday night and I let out a little squeal of joy(which made the French tourist couple next to me roll their eyes and call me mean names with their outrageous accents) when I saw that there was a Norbert quiz in the August playbill. Pics of him in DRS, Thou Shalt Not, Rent, L5Y, Cabaret, and Wicked with questions about his roles.

Hi Gav, I've been in North Carolina. and where I was there was little internet access.
If you see this Emcee tell Thespian Geek hi for me, its funny to think we are all within minutes of each other.
I did not win the DRS lottery, it was really crowded.
Saw Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe and loved it instead.
Also saw the off-off broadway Merrily We Roll Along tonight. I love the music but it had some major issues in staging and chemistry/charisma.
Well I'll probably try DRS again on Tuesday.

Did you see The Pillowman b/f you left? If you did, is Bill Irwin's performance better than Billy Crudup's? Pillowman is the only play I've seen this season but it's hard to believe any performance is better that Mr. Crudup's.

The Pillowman is amazing, you'll be left speechless! I'm seriously thinking of going back. Maybe this Wed mat, don't know. This is the first experience in the theatre I've had where I've laughed so hard, been absolutely shocked and horrified, and so attracted to the leading man. Yes, kiddies, The Pillowman has everything.

Well I have no idea what I'll wear, but my hair is enormous and I wear small square tortoise shell glasses. If you see a guy with seriously big hair, but who still looks kind of silly (you might say like a large penguin who is a professor of philosophy) that would be me

oh, wow, i JUST discovered this cuz i'm slow and stupid.

hi, my name's jamie! i usually post at the Greg Jbara Love Thread, so, if you've been there, you've most likely seen me!

ahem, anyways, yeah. um...norb story. okay, well, he was the only reason why i bought DRS tickets, and when i went to go see it on July 9, i was so excited, dreaming about FINALLY seeing my broadway god on stage. i even stayed up the night before, getting chills when i realized that i was REALLY gonna see him. in the flesh, and not in a little box called a computer.

but then...i opened the beautiful playbill..and...well...it said that norb wasn't there. but, his u/s, joe, was REALLY good, so i was still happy!

ah, but i'll meet him one day, i'm sure! :)

My name is Jamie. NYU class of 2011!!!

Your name is Jamie. Hehehehe, very cool. Sorry you missed Norbert in DRS, I would've asked for a refund. I went into the Greg thread once to see why it was surpassing so many love threads so quickly but it scared me and I shant return. There was a chick who wanted to marry a virtual chimp. I forsee a very interesting episode of Jerry Springer.

Hello Movie/Jamie and welcome,
what do the Greg threaders do that is so crazy? I only stopped by once to pay respects to Greg.
I'm glad you stayed for the show, as much as I love Norbert the show is very good anyway and any exposure to the genre is good for you.
I'm sure you will meet him someday, he is very nice, although shy.

You can't get refunds or exchanges but when people go to see a show for a certain star like Hugh in The Boy from Oz and he's out you can demand a refund, I think. I would make a big stink if Norbert was out when I went to DRS. I'd demand a refund b/c I wouldn't enjoy myself without him, especially when paying $100 per ticket.
