Norbert Leo Butz Status Update — Page 5

I feel so sad now. Get well soon Norbert!

Nah, that's all there is to it really. Since they are doing two Sunday shows, they couldn't do 9 shows in the week and got rid of the Wed. evening performance.

Not 100% positive I can hang before, but we'll see.

Norbert performed in today's matinee. They were filming it for the Lincoln Center archives, so he couldn't miss it. He seemed in very good spirits at the stage door, even though he only mouthed words to people.

I was actually passing by at the time, but I saw him outside and wished him well.

me too!!

Norbert was in the Wednesday matinee and was AMAZING! You could tell he had had time off because he had more energy than either one of the other two times I saw the show. He went back in after signing after the matinee so I assumed he did the evening show too. I asked him at the stage door if he was feeling better and he nodded very happily and mouthed "thanks for asking." You would never have known he was having any problems at the show... that's for sure!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the show, wickedmimi. Looks like he's doing better at least.

i hope norbert is feeling better
and what were they filming for the lincoln center archives? light in the piazza? *hopes*
and my other question is when is norbert leaving? i was looking around online. is it july 12th?

Bwayondabrain, I am not sure anyone knows for now. The only date I could think of is July 23rd because that is when Greg Jbara's contract is up.

I saw the show yesterday at the matinee and it was fantastic! Norbert was not in but Joe Cassidy was, and he was fabulous! I had seen Joe back in November and was happy when I saw his name posted (not that i didn't want to see Norbert, of course I did, but if Norbert wasn't there then Joe was my next choice). Him and John just did a great job together and the whole audience started going nuts right after Joe said "And I think we still deserve a hand!" After the show John came out to sign which was really nice of him since it was a matinee and he was really really nice about it, not that i expected anything different! Anyway, Greg Jbara asked Joe as he was leaving if he was performing tonight(meaning last night) and he said that Norbert was in, which I hope is a good sign that he's feeling better!

All u lucky folks seeing the show 2nite be sure to post!. Any chance the "no photos" rule might not be enforced like when Kristen , Norb And Joel left Wicked? *hint*(crossing fingers)

when i saw drs the week of christmas, i aske norbert for his pic but he leaned in and said that if he took one with me he had to take one with everybody. so the next second he smiles towards my mom's camera and we got a pic of him. you can't get pics with some of them.
