Off topic, but Matt Morrison is apparently leaving Piazza on August 28th to do a new play. PHEW. I'm glad I'll get to see him before he leaves, then.
I saw a local production of Take Me Out and just... WOW. That was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Incredibly well written, well acted, and the cast even had the original Broadway costumes! I hope the play Matt's doing lives up to being just as good if not better.
Emcee used to have a video shoe of him in Cabaret, but doesn't have it anymore. But it does exist! Somewhere..
I still want Christopher Fitzgerald to replace Norbert. LOL I mean, Hunter's a good choice too, but Chriiiiiiiiiis.
It's been so long since I've listened to TL5Y all the way through. I should probably do that again sometime soon, but the damn thing just depresses me so much.
My birthday is August 9th. I head off to NYC in a week.
Anyone else have any Norbert related dreams (that aren't X-rated)?
No, no I haven't.
Looks like a few of us are going to be in the city this weekend. Am I sensing a meet-up? Hmmm...

I listened to L5Y a minute ago on Accu Broadway...Norbert has a beautiful voice that goes with the beautiful score. I want the CD now! Gahhhh.
Get it! You will not be disappointed.
Okay, I'm heading off to the city in the morning. I'll be lottoing for RENT tomorrow night and I don't know when I'll be able to get online next, but hopefully after the show.
And I bet you I know the answers to all the questions. Because I'm a freak like that. Lmao.
Any buying of The Last Five Years is not only recommended Gavrochegirl, it is demanded!
I am back in NYC!
I must get this playbill, hmmm maybe a lottery at DRS today?
Oh, I'm pretty sure I would score very high on a Norbert quiz as well. LOL.
SP and all, you have to see DRS and Piazza soon so you tell us about it! :)
Any Norbert fan should have L5Y. It is a *must*.

You're demanding me? Well...my friend David told me that he'd burn it for me. Now I love him. (But I have always loved him!) So, basically, it's freeeee!
*does happy dance* Plus I think it's Norbert's best work. (SMARTPENGUIN! Agh...where on earth have you been?)
Hi.
SP - if you're lottoing on Tuesday, I'll see you there! I'm gonna lotto even though I already have a ticket... because hi, front row for Norbert on my birthday would be the greatest thing ever.
I'll be wearing pretty much all black (flip-flops, capris, tank top) with a green messenger bag.
yeah, the some of the greg threadders are kinda...crazy. but, i learn to live with it, lol! (i dont know HOW i do, but, somehow, i can! haha)
anyways, i'm one of the more saner ones, i think. but, yeah, anyways, DRS was the first bdway show i'd ever seen without my school, so, let's just say that i didn't know that you could refund/exchange tickets. i also didn't know that you could also find out when the actors would be out. but, good thing is that i was still able to see it! and, anyways, my dad drove my mom and i to the city already, and i couldn't just ask him to come back and bring us all home. ah, live and let learn, right? :)
and, yes, my name IS jamie, lol. i put that there b/c nobody remembered my name, and just called me movie. which, i don't mind, but it's nice to be called by ur name, too, ya know?
firstly, smartpenguin, your avatar is SO CUTE!!!
and, secondly, i think that you'd like his understudy, joe! i mean, even though i was upset that norb wasn't there, joe was still REALLY good, especially as the show was progessing. (and, he also has the belly for the ruprecht number! hahahaha!)
however, i kinda forgot what his voice sounded like, cuz the DRS soundtrack has been playing over and over and over and over (put in a million more "over's" and you've got it! haha) so, norb's voice is glued to my brain! lol. it kinda sucks, though, cuz i remember loving joe's voice, especially in "love is my legs!"
and, yeah, i figured that he'd be shy. i think that maybe john rubbed off on him, because HE'S really shy, (or, humble might be the right word) too!
anyways, i was looking at norb's old cabaret pictures, and, oh my goodness, he had a niiiiiccce body! (but i still love his present state! i always love a little belly on a guy! haha)
Okay, so I just got back from seeing DRS.
OHMYNORBERT. I love that man in such ridiculous amounts it's not even funny.
Today was my birthday, so seeing DRS and Norbert was my gift to myself, but I don't think it could have gotten any better. Well, actually, it could have but I won't be selfish.
Not only did I meet him; oh no, it doesn't stop there. I got his autograph (again), talked with him briefly about a couple of things, GOT MY PICTURE WITH HIM (which you all know I was so upset wouldn't happen since he's not supposed to), aaaannnnddd...
I got a hug.
A HUG.
This is Caitlin dying happy right now.
PS - Hi, SP! It was nice meeting you today.
PPS - Norbert's daughters went backstage about 5 minutes before he got there. Let me tell you, they may just be the cutest damn things on Earth.

WOW this thread is dead!!!
wheres the norbert love??
I STILL LOVE HIM
but...no one else? thats fine. more norbert for me
Saw Norbert walking Michelle to work today. Almost had a heartattack because it was so damn random.
Went and saw Light in the Piazza tonight, though. I might just be a little bit in love with Matt Morrison now. Guh. But yeah, that show is AMAZING. I had front row next to a set of stairs the actors used a lot. It was just... I have no words.
No wait! I do!
Screw you, Dan Fogler, for taking Matt's Tony. :P And Sara Ramirez for taking Kelli's. Hmph.

who was norbert walking to work? michelle? whos that..?
Okay, so completely off-topic of Norbert, but today has been CRAZY so far in regards to Broadway people.
Just within the last 2 hours I've met/run into Aaron Lohr, Andy Karl, Cary Shields, and Mayumi Ando. I also found out my friend Tony, whom I graduated high school with, was Michael Arden's u/s in BARE.
...wtf.
