Tonight I live streamed , Norbert Leo Butz a show about women’s rights starting with stories of Greek Mythology.
I adore Norbert. I first saw,him off broadway with Sherie Renée Scott in ‘The Last Five Years’ about a troubled relationship which is one of my favorite shows. I was friends with one of the Producers and went 11 times. I interviewed Sherie but sadly have never interviewed Norbert and always wanted to talk with him. I also saw him in ‘IS HE DEAD’ one of the funniest plays I have ever seen my co worker from The Drama Desk awards was Producer and she invited me many times. Norbert deserved a Tony award for his brilliant performance.
He sang for his last song a song from ‘Hedwig’ which was my favorite in this concert. I was hoping he would sing from ‘Last Five Years. ‘ He said he was fighting the flu but he sang an incredible concert. Mr Butz is one of my favorite male singers I just was hoping for more Broadway musicals.
Maybe his next show could be him and Sherie doing The Last Five Years!
