Official Norbert Leo Butz Love Thread — Page 88

Hi TG, I saw some of the screencaps from the L&O episode. Norbert looks so geeky! I think I'm going to have to sign up for Netflix.

How is the HP book?

Thespian--What is the episode name or nubmer? Maybe I can rent it somewhere--Netflix as you did...is it worth seeing? Is he a criminal?

Hi party people!

I won Spelling Bee lotto(I've never won any lotto b4) on Thursday night and it was really really funny! Definetly the most I've laughed this season. The cast is so precious, each one of 'em! I met most of the cast afterwards and they were all so nice.

Sat night, before FB: SVU started, I was killing the time walking around the theatres on 44th and 45th. I was passing Spamalot and BERNADETTE PETERS walked pass me! I was in shock and I pulled out my camera. All I managed to get was a shot from back but it's something. Walking later, all I came up with that I could've said to her was "Norbhut?", lol.

So, I went to the Imperial and got the DRS program. Here's Freddy's profile:

Present family name: SKEKSIS
Forename: MARK
ALIAS(s) FREDDY BENSON, SERGEANT BUZZ BENSON, PRINCE RUPRECHT, MR BIG STUFF, RANDY BENTWICK

Sex: Male
DOB: 22 July 1978(27 years old)
Place of Birth: USA Newark, New Jersey
Language Spoken: English/Spanish
Nationality: American

Offenses: BAD TASTE, ANIMAL PORN, HACKING, CREATING & RELEASING PC VIRUSES, FORGING DRIVERS LISENCES OF UNDER AGE GIRLS

Arrest Warrant Issued by: USA, MEXICO, CANADA, MINSK

It's a cool program, and only $10. Each of the main 6 have 2 pages all about them and there's even 2 pages dedicated to Ruprecht. :) If any of you guys can't get your hands on one send me your e-mail and I'll take pics of the pages and send them to you.

Forbidden Broadway was hilarious! Gerard Alessandrini is a genius. There are already new numbers that aren't on the cd but deserve to be recorded. They usually spoof one song from any show but they spoofed two from Piazza-"statues and stories" and "say it somehow".

Clara's "problem" was very obvious, and Fabrizio was spraying his hair with hairspray, lol. The hat part had to be the funniest visual of the number. A hand comes from off-stage and clips a string on Clara's hat then it's pulled up and down while Fabrizio jumps up and down trying to "catch" it. I was dying! And that was only like 6 or 7 minutes. I love FB!

According to the program, Freddy is 27, Andre is 38, and Lawrence is 55. Freddy's age does seem kinda young but what makes it even more puzzling is that he's also younger than Jolene(32) and Christine(29). I think all three of the men's ages need to be hiked by at least 5 years.

Someone on the main board said that Nick Wyman left DRS. John's understudy is Tom Galantich. They said that his comedic timing wasn't so great but he sings beautifully.

*still rooting for Stokes to join DRS as Lawrence*

And the post on the thread go Bump Bump BUMP!

Well, the pictures I've seen of Norbs as the Emcee make me think Frank-n-Furter would not be too much of a stretch.

How about Sherie's role in DRS? Mimi from Rent? Or how about Hedwig?

I don't think there is a lot beyond our Norb from Eva Peron in Evita(High Flying Adored) to what I'd really like to see him in "Long Days Journey into Night" as Jamie. He'd just Be explosive.

Let's hope Les noticed Norb & gives him a nice juicey series!!!

I'm so happy that Matt is staying on Broadway with a new play but I'll still miss him in Piazza. I'm really looking forward to this play b/c I've heard good things about it and Richard Greenberg wrote it. He wrote my favorite play Take Me Out so I know this new one is going to be hilarious and having Matt in it is just a huge bonus.

/loves norbert.

Alright lets see.

Aside from the fact that I simply adore him? I've seen him in Wicked and DRS - and have both cast recordings...including recordings of his songs in Rent, Cabaret, and The Last Five Years.
I haven't, however, found time to do the whole stage door thing. I am most definately going to see DRS again and fully plan on it, though.

Uhhm...yeah. Missing anything?
