If you have any pics of Mister Norbert, feel free to send them to NLBOnline (norbertleobutzonline.com). I am redoing the entire fan photo section and need some good pics.

I saw it today and it was so great! The cast was in top shape. There was an elderly man in the audience who is a performer. I couldn't think of his name and it was driving me crazy. Did anyone else who saw the show today see him?

My friend's mom won lotto and treated me to the show. It was fantastic - I had never seen Jon, and was very, very impressed. It was hilarious that he kept grabbing Norbert's crotch, and that they rumbled around on the bed for about 5 minutes. I wish they would've done a few more special things, but it was still a great show, and I'm glad to have experienced it.

S&V- In response to your question, I believe you are talking about Fyv Finkel, who was in attendance today.
What a wonderful performance, lovely way to end a fantastic run for Norbs and Pryce!

Thank you all for your reviews. It sounds like it was a proper sendoff for the SCOUNDRELS 
They will be missed.

Gosh, now that their after show party is no doubt over, I am especially saddened. Well, Norbert and Laura are off to work on the tour rehearsals tomorrow. I hope they have a good time.

What a fantastic performance! The energy was pouring from the stage, and of all the times I've been to the show, I've never seen all of the actors get entrance applause. Norbert really gave it his all with Great Big Stuff today. Not that he doesn't everyday, but tonight I thought he was just going to burst. Every dance move was bigger and funnier. The Ruprecht scene was even more hilarious than before, and watching the two of them roll around on top of each other left me in tears because I was laughing so hard. The entire cast was in top form, and today was a reminder of why I've kept going back to DRS over and over again. That show always leaves my cheeks hurting from laughter! The DRS number was very touching, and once I saw Jon and Norbert start to tear up I completely lost it. The curtain speeches were lovely as were the gifts that were given. Definetly one of the best theatre experiences I've had....we'll miss ya boys!

Extremely rough cut of the speech with mispelled names and such. Enjoy!
"What a ride, yes. I would like to say something. You know, when I won the Tony, it was CBS so they cut you off so quickly. Once again, I am crying that I have gone this far in my career without changing my name. I never thought I would be in this position. There are a couple of people I need to acknowledge with whom me, this show, wouldn’t be here. These two (points to Sherie Rene Scott and Jonathan Pryce), you are so incredible. You do all this and you kind of create a family, and like the best of families, it’s a dysfunctional family and things get done due to circumstances that you normally wouldn’t do. I ask all of you for forgiveness for back stage shenanigans and one man in particular, is Jack Scott back there? (Jack enters stage right) This is my dresser and I couldn’t thank him at the Tony Awards. There is no one in the building who works harder for me that gets my butt out here on the stage every night, in the right clothes. This is the third show I have done with this guy and it’s the third time he has saved my butt. I love you so much (hugs Jack). I want to say that Brian D’Arcy is coming in and he’s an amazing actor. He’s like me, only better talented with better hair. (Audience member says, “Impossible!) He’s really great and I want to say thanks to Jack O’Brian who is a prince of the American theater. (Jack O’Brian enters and Norbert mentions shows he has done - the audience claps enthusiastically) The range and commitment of this man to American theater and he is a treasure. It’s been an honor to have been directed by him. I love you Jack. And for our writers, Jeffrey Lane and David Yasbeck for creating this group of neurotics in the south of France and giving me the part of a lifetime and I will never take it for granted. For those of you who kept coming back again, time after time, thank you for coming day in day out. An for Fred Larsen our conductor. I could go on and on but I will stop there. I am going on the tour, I am going to do three months, spreading vulgar all across America. Thank you very much!"

I thought the "two" he was referring to were Jonathan and Sherie...

Most probably. I have to review what I wrote. I figured he was talking about her. I shall fix that in the edit.

3 months= how many stops on the DRS tour?

Ah if I was there I would've definitely shed tears for them.

He was referring to Pryce and Scott when he said "these two people"--- BTW... I know someone had posted this before (possibly here or on the ATC boards)--- is Sherie pregnant?
Didnt look like it (as least to me) in the first act, but during ACT II, depending on costume, she did.

Saw her last week in short-shorts and a tank-top. Definately not pregnant. Thin as a rail.

*sigh* finally the twitching has stopped! Sounds like the best of times was had by all. What were the gifts?

They both received plaques like the one John Lithgow got. They were composed of those hilarious posters from various times of the year. Norbert got a special plaque that had a quote that the NYTimes could not print. Something that had to do with them (DRS) losing thier Butz. I'll try to remember it.
