Oh. God. Yesssssssssss.
Bythesword can completely vouch for my love of Norm. When we were at Dessa Rose, I was going through the playbill and I kept asking her "WHY doesn't Norm have a solo??"
But seriously, Norm Lewis is easily my favorite male vocalist. When he walked onstage at Broadway Unplugged last year, the audience (or maybe it was just me...) exploded and then he sang "Make Them Hear You" and it was GLORIOUS. I wish he could have played Coalhouse at Papermill, too...
He was amazing in BABY, and do we even need to discuss Sideshow?
And, he did do a solo act at Joe's Pub at the beginning of May, it was called "A Night With Norm Lewis," and I think LaChanze was a special guest.
Yay Norm!
Andrew, tonight isn't about you! It isn't even about me!!! - [FD]
