I think they'll do "Dirty Rotten Number" because it showcases both leads, but the same could be said for "All about Ruprecht", which I think would sell more tickets.

Mature Dignity--what else have you seen Norbert in? L5Y? If yes, can you tell be about his performance in it?

Speaking of Jane Curtin....just found this..from Playbill.com

Director Gordon Davidson, actor John Lithgow and film/TV writer and business entrepreneur Chris Campbell will be honored by the National Corporate Theatre Fund next month.

The Fund's Annual Chairman's Awards Gala will be held April 4 at the Essex House and will feature Jane Curtin, recently on Broadway in the Noises Off revival, as Master of Ceremonies. David Hyde Pierce, Anna Deavere Smith and Rosalyn and Irwin Engelman will present the honorees with their awards. Lithgow will receive the Theatre Artist Award, Davidson will be given the NCTF Leadership Award, and Campbell will be honored with the Corporate Leadership Award.

The evening will begin at 6:30 PM with cocktails, followed by dinner at 7:30 PM. The black-tie event will also include a silent auction and a musical presentation directed and choreographed by Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' Denis Jones and a tribute performance by The Light in the Piazza's Kelli O'Hara.

I know basically nothing about The Confidence Man, but I know it's something he did awhile ago and he has a song on there called "Pain..." somethingorother. I can't remember. *Blush*

And I've heard mid-May (everything from May 10th to the 17th) for the release date of the DRS cast recording.

Re The Confidence Man It was a show that never ended up being produced but in the end they did a recording w a number of people recording different songs frm the score.(1998 I think) Norb is on the 1st track w Yancy Arrias & the chorus "New Orleans is Coming to Me" He sounds great on it! The other song is "Pain Humbles" & is more of a patter type song but Norb does such great things w the lyric & his voice that my only regret is H doesn't do the rest of the recording! ( Can there BE enuf fo Norbert singing?) The rest of recording is not so special but I found it worth it just for the Norb tracks.( This is SO sad! Don't encourage me....)

If I don't, that just might ruin my entire trip. LOL

I heard people got like, multiple copies of the CD. Anyone grab me one?

Oh! And any word on Drama Desk nominations? Nevermind, I just saw that they're not being announced until tomorrow. I'm dumb.

B-b-but.. Chrys.. you said you were going to get us all extra copies of the CD! *Sob*

Oh well.

He'll probably want to keep doing comedy if he can, but I suppose he'll take whatever he can get. A job is a job, you know?

[thespian geek]

Posted: 5/10/05 at 1:17pm

Yeah, I'll admit that I'm scared for Norbert now since Tim and John both got nominated. Even if Norbert is better than both of them, they're huge names compared to Norbert.

But let me toss in a congrats to Sherie for her first Tony nod! Even though she probably won't win that either... eeeeeek.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 5/11/05 at 2:24am

I'm still worried that Spamalot will be this years The Producers. *Sigh* I just hope it doesn't leave DRS totally in the dust, ala The Full Monty.

Personally, I think Tim Curry would be pissed off if he found out people think he got nominated because of him having been in Rocky Horror. That was 30 years ago! I know I'd be fuming if that were the case and I were in his shoes.

Posted: 5/11/05 at 2:14pm

I just hope you're right. If he doesn't win, I may have to lock myself in my house for a few days to mourn properly or something.

Who is submitting a question for Norbert for the Q&A?

I already did. I asked him what his most embarassing moment during a show was. Part of me thinks my luck won't run with this one like it did with Patrick Wilson, so I doubt it'll get answered.

[thespian geek]

Sherie looks gorgeous, but the lipstick is a little too dark and it frightens me slightly. Haha.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 5/13/05 at 1:00pm

I got an email from Amazon a couple of days ago saying my order has shipped, which included my DRS cast recording and Pray for the Soul of Betty's CD (that's Constantine Maroulis' band for those of you who don't know). So I should get them either tomorrow or on Monday.

When are Drama Desk awards announced? If he snags that one, I have a feeling we'll be smelling a Tony real soon.

[thespian geek]

That new picture on the main page of the DRS site just made me almost bust a gut laughing and I don't know why.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 5/18/05 at 6:38pm

Howdy, everyone.

I SAID YODDLE! *WHIP*

Sorry, I'm listening to that song right now. Haha.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 5/30/05 at 1:18pm

Less than a week, folks! Yay!

How is everyone's Memorial Day going so far?

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/7/05 at 1:01am

Yeah, I'm coming to the celebration late, too - but that's OKAY! I literally have not stopped smiling since last night and I've had permenant warm fuzzies in my tummy since Bernadette said his name (NORBUHT.. hehe).

I don't think I could ever express how happy and proud I am of Norbert, honestly. This award is a long time coming. I love him so damn much. <333333

By the way, hi everyone else!

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/7/05 at 1:43am

I've been around, but my job is kicking my ASS. Seriously. But almost every penny is going toward my trip to NYC so I can see Norbert in person for my birthday (best birthday present ever, I know), so that's okay.

Yazbek cracks me up.

And so does that picture Hedwig is using for their new avatar. *Giggle*

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/8/05 at 1:16am

Awwwwwwwwwww. I wish I could have seen tonight's performance. I'm insanely jealous of those of you who did. But no worries, I've been told I'm an awesome audience member and I cheer very, vrey loudly. So Norbert will get quite the entrance and curtain call applause from me. Hehe.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/9/05 at 1:04am

I've watching his acceptance speech twice, but only because I missed half of it the first time because I was squealing and giggling so loud.
