I am so excited for DRS. It's about time Norbert Leo Butz is leading a Broadway Musical. He is an amazing talent.

I can't wait too see him DRS. Personally, I can def. see him taking a Tony nom. for this.

With John Lithgow, Norert Butz, and Sherie Rene Scott leading the cast.. this show is gonna be fantastic.

So the question is.. Do you think this show will be a Broadway hit???

I think that the cast itself will draw a lot of theater-goers who know Sherie-Renee Scott and Norbert Leo Butz well, and maybe a bit more of the maintstream who might want to see John Lithgow onstage.

Broadway hit? Ehh...Not sure about that.

The names in it will probably draw people, at least initially. Anyone owning the Aida or Wicked albums would likely go just to see Sherie Rene Scott or Norbert! I know I would

let's hope the book and score are good -- John L. couln;t bring them in for Sweet Smell...

I am looking forward to seeing John Lithgow live.

I think that like most shows with high-profile original casts, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" won't survive long once Lithgow and the rest leave.

It's true though, I really hope the score & book are pretty good.
