Didn't care for Dan Folger at all. Matt was ROBBED!
I saw Spelling Bee last Wednesday and Piazza on Thursday and have to 100% agree with you. Dan was good, but I don't understand the buzz around the character. Whereas Matt had me hooked from the second he stepped out on stage. I could NOT look away from him or Kelly the entire show.. God. They have amazing chemistry.
does anybody remember what happend when norbert was out?
People still went and saw it as far as I'm aware. People don't realize the show is more Norbert's than it is John's, but John is the name. :-/
Don't get me wrong, Dan was good, but I saw Light in the Piazza the next day and handsdown - my opinion is that Matt was completely robbed of the Tony. As was Kelli, though I have yet to see Spamalot.
Piazza is FANTASTIC. It's honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. Of course, if you're not a romantic, it probably won't appeal to you.. but still. Matt & Kelli have some of the best on-stage chemistry I've seen between anyone.
But just think, unless they change Norbert's staging, a few of those lucky lotto winners will be even luckier in the fact that Norbert will be chillin' up in their box for a minute or two with them.
Honestly, I doubt she is. If she is, she'd probably start showing by the time she leaves Wicked in January and that just wouldn't really work out.. But if they ever do have kids, good for them. You can see how Norbert gets when he talks about his daughters. They're the loves of his life.
There's my word on the topic and it won't go beyond that.
I saw Norbert as Mark (his very first performance)
*FUMES JEALOUSY*
I'd have died to see him as Mark, holy crap.
Eeeek. Here I am, thinking of going back to NYC the week of Thanksgiving for the release of the Rent movie and catch a couple of shows.. but hell. If I'm not going to be able to get tickets to any shows it might not even be worth the trouble. Heh.
Seems we all have pre-Norbert stories to share. A's, Patronus', my story about how I probably saw Norbert when he was with the Nebraska Theatre Caravan many a year ago.. LOL
When I met Norbert, he was wearing a USC (University of Southern California) Trojan's hat. I was kind of "wtf" over it. Hehe.
My baseball team is the Cubs. If the Red Sox can do it, so can they.
ok so i've just caught up on the past few pages. and i have some things to say... first, i also saw norb when he was in Rent. i was only 9, so i don't know why my parents brought me to see that. second thing..i feel SO YOUNG. i'm only 17. gah. lol ya'll make me feel like a baby. and lastly...i'm going to NYC in october to see DRS...i got row AA tickets, center. so i'm really really excited. it'll be my third time seeing it. AND i get to go backstage. Greg offered, and then Norb is going to help out..so it'll be me, my cousin, Greg, and Norb walking around backstage. CANT WAIT. and its on my birthday!!!! how much better can it get?!?!?!!? lol
Saw this posted at the Norbert LJ community; figured everyone here would enjoy it. You know how everyone's like "where did Babydoll come from?!" ...well... now we have two more solo songs to add to that.
There really is no story behind those 3 songs, newgirl. I meant to ask him when I met him but you know.. the fangirly mind took over and I completely forgot.
TL5Y = one of the most amazing things ever
I bought my copy online via Amazon.com - you can also buy it through sh-k-boom.com; if you're looking to purchase in store.. Virgin in Times Square has it, as do some Borders and Barnes & Noble.
OMG agreed. L5Y is amazing. Jason Robert Brown is GENIUS...and for them to put Shere and Norbert on it...just amazing. and if you haven't, you should get JRB's other stuff...Parade is the other really really really amazing one. LOVE HIM! i just wish that Norb and Shere were on that cd too..but they aren't, unfortunately.
