DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS - A Show That IS The Reason I Will Travel To New York

The Broadway.com Video for this show is finally loading properly to 100% as opposed to 53%.

After watching it, I am now planning a Summer trip to NY JUST for this show. I cannot wait!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Seeing this in June - so psyched! Gleason, Gettelfinger, Butz, lithgow and Scott are reason enough, but the material iteself looks great! Anyone else think the ensemble looks terrific too?

it's nice to see norbert finally headline a new big broadway musical. this could be his big break, and maybe make him a household name. woooo norbert.

PS: Anyone know what roles Gleason, Jbara and Gettelfinger play in the plot? The other three leads are pretty obvious, but it seems like the two guys and Scott keep getting mentioned, while poor Joanna seems overlooked! Is her part just not as big?

(Ever since the Into The Woods DVD, I've adored Gleason)

Isn't it GREAT to see Broadway abuzz with a GOOD show for a change instead of so swarming over mediocrity and flops? BTW - this is my first post on this board - LOVE IT!

I was so lucky to see the post-opening night performance in San Diego last September. Loved loved loved the show! And it can only be better now that they've had time to tweak it. Can't wait to finally get the OBC recording once it's available!

Hey eslgr8 since you were lucky enough to see the show, i was wondering if Norbert had an eye patch and trident when he was playing Ruprecht? I loved the movie and would just LOVE to see Norbie in that get up :)

I wish I could remember specifically the Ruprecht costume. I do recall that the scene was absolutely hysterical, and Norbert was a riot doing it. This is the role which will shoot him to Broadway superstardom.
