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'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.

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 don't think it includes a backstage tour. Just house tickets, etc. Whatever they said on the website.

He was probably just thanking more people.

I can't wait to hear about his understudy, though. Who is his understudy? Haha.

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/11/05 at 2:18am

I think someone at another thread said his understudy was Leo Cassidy..?

Joe's bio is one of the more amusing ones I've seen. Hehe.

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"

There's the yahoo fanclub I started for Norbert. I also had a message board going with it if we still want to use that..?

[thespian geek]

Congrats to Norbert on the award. I want to see his collection now.

So, is someone starting a new fansite or are we going to use the fanclub I made on yahoo a bajillion years ago..?

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/16/05 at 12:23pm

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.

She had to have, because I'm sitting here like "lisp? what lisp?" Haha.

Of course his LIPS are sexy! What part of him isn't?

[thespian geek]

Posted: 6/17/05 at 11:05pm

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

I'm glad he didn't change his name. It makes him incredibly unique in the entertainment world.

[thespian geek]

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!

Norb talked about how he moved around from place to place for whatever girl he was dating.

Wow. There's a committed guy right there. Of course, moving around from place to place and being an actor is better - more opportunity and whatnot.

I want to ask Norbert about the time he spent with the NTC, but I'd hate to make him feel old. "Yeah, I may have seen you with the NTC once!" "Oh yeah? That was a long time ago." "I know. I was in elementary school and now I'm 21." "...."

Umm.. Urinetown and revival of LSOH anyone? He's originated roles before. Being a replacement isn't so bad. It's a job, isn't it?

Okay, here's what I posted over at Prodigious regarding the Tony scrapbook:

As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I'm putting together a Tony scrapbook for Norbert from all of us (his fans and Prodigious fanclub members) to him! I figured it would be a way to get everyone active and get the fanclub back on its feet.

Basically what the scrapbook is going to be is our letters of congratulations to Norbert regarding his Tony win. But it doesn't have to be just letters. It can also be poems, collages, etc. If you'd like, you can either email me the letter (or whatever else) and I'll print it out and put it in the scrapbook, or you can snailmail me the letter. I'd prefer the latter as it's more personal looking if you do that, but it's up to you. :) Also, if you'd like to send along a picture of you with Norbert if you have one to be put beside your letter, that'd be awesome! This way Norbert knows who wrote the letter and he can put faces to names.

So, if you decide to email the letter, please send it to [e-mail] - and if you send a picture along with it online, please send it as a file attachment.

If you're going to snailmail me the letter, please email me above so I can give you the address. The same thing goes with the picture. If you're sending it online, email it to me as a file attachment. If you're sending me an actual copy of a photo, you can go ahead and snailmail that, too.

The deadline for all letters, etc. & pictures is AUGUST 1ST. No later. I'm going to New York the week of the 6th - 13th and am planning on giving it to Norbert then.

If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to ask. :) I can't wait to see all of your submissions!
