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
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.
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.
I think if it had been anyone other than Bernadette giving him his Tony, he may have jumped on them for the hug. Haha. I could totally see him wanting to do that. And him RUNNING up to the stage? So damn cute. I love him. Le'sigh.
I actually started a fanclub months ago, but no one ever posted and it slowly died off. I've been considering starting it up again. It's called "Prodigious"
Well, I never actually started a website. I meant to, but I suck at HTML and it just never happened. My fanclub is on yahoo.com - this I've been meaning to get going again for a month or so now.
Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend TL5Y cast recording. That one is Norbert's show to shine, honestly. I mean, he's incredible and hysterical in DRS but TL5Y showcased his emotions and his voice. Guh.
By the way, anyone is welcome to crash my birthday in the city. It'll be an awesome party. Woot, woot!
Speaking of me going to the city, along with me starting Prodigious back up, I've decided to start a project along with that. Alejandra knows about it. It's going to be a scrapbook for Norbert that I'll give to him while I'm in NYC. It's basically just going to be full of congratulations on his Tony win and fan pictures, etc. Once I get it all sorted out and an official message posted on the fanclub, I'll let you guys know incase anyone wants to partake.
you should make a bww fan page and we all send you a picture to put in it
That'd be cool. Basically what I was thinking that if anyone wants to submit a letter of congratulations or something, submit a picture of yourself or of you with Norbert and I can put that next to the letter so Norbert knows who wrote it. But I love the BWW page!
And I'm seeing DRS on August 9th (my 21st birthday!) - but I'll be in NYC from the 6th through the 13th.
I don't know, DRS. I consider myself pretty damn obsessed with the man but I'm kind of quiet about it.
Okay, my opinion on what he sounds best on:
DRS - Dirty Rotten Number and Love Is My Legs Wicked - ALAYM TL5Y - This is a tough one, but I think If I Didn't Believe In You Rent - OSG and Another Day
There's also this one song from the reading of Feeling Electric that he sings that just makes me want to bawl. I'm sure A would know which one it is better than I would since I've only heard it a few times. It's the one where he's singing about his wife (Sherie's character) and how she left him alone and whatnot. Ugh. SUCH a good song.
I had a "dream" (I was in that state between sleep and conciousness) last night about meeting Norbert and I was tearing up because I was so happy at the idea of meeting him. If I'm getting like this now... I may need someone there with me when I meet him for the first time! LOL
Poor Norbert. I'll be sending some warm & fuzzy "Get well, soon!" vibes his way. If I ever hear about him getting that disease or whatever it is on his vocal chords that, if not treated immediately, will require surgery (and even then it's not guaranteed you'll sing again - look what happened to Julie Andrews)... I'll cry. A lot. *KNOCKS ON WOOD*
I had an interesting Norbert moment tonight, though. I went and saw a local production of Take Me Out (one of the best plays I've ever seen, thank you) and someone I know was in it and I was talking to him at the cast party and he was talking about how he was in the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. Well, awhile ago, I found out Norbert was with the NTC for a little while a long time ago. At the time, I freaked out thinking "OMG! I could have seen Norbert when I was like, EIGHT!" because our elementary school used to field trip to NTC shows all the time. Anyways, I asked Kevin (the guy I know) when he was with the NTC and he said '93/'94 and that's about the time Norbert was with them (I think). I mentioned Norbert and wether he recognized the name or not.... and he said it ringed a bell.
Um, I may know someone that's worked with Norbert! *Dies* Granted, it was 13 or so years ago but that's not the point!
