Apparently Norbert Leo Butz ends his tour with DRS in Dallas. Anyone know if he's committed to another B'Way show? We just saw him in Houston and it strikes me that he has some of the same brilliance as Robert Morse. Maybe a revival HOW TO SUCCEED?

Thanks,

Sam

I don't know, but we really don't need a revival of How to Succeed yet.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING was already revived at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 1995 with Matthew Broderick, Megan Mullally and Victoria Clark.

I know he's doing a movie with Dane Cook and Steve Carrell!

True. It is too early for a revival of HTSIB.

I think someone should write a new show for this guy. What a talent.

In my opinion, Tom Hewitt does a great job as Jameson. I didn't see Lithgow but Hewitt strikes me as better suited. I hear Pryce was excellent.

Thanks,

Sam

Yup. Dat be right -- Norbert begins shooting Peter Hedges' romantic comedy DAN IN REAL LIFE in a few weeks. He joins Steve Carell (who plays the film's lead, Dan Burns) , Dane Cook, Juliette Binoche, Jessica Hecht, Alison Pill, Amy Ryan, Dianne Wiest and John Mahoney in the film.

Norbert plays one of the lead roles, Clay Burns -- Steve Carrell's character's brother in the film.

If he gets the vocal rest he needs and is interested in another musical and if Mel Brooks musical version of "Young Frankenstein" makes it to Broadway, I think he'd be great and have a lot of fun in the Gene Wilder role.

Allison Pill was in Inishmore, right?
