What year was this?!

[darkgem100]

its so funny, i'm used to seeing him as Fiyero in Wicked, and then i see this, lol. how can the same guy play two totaly different charecters? ahhh acting :) lol

[PurpleCow17]

Got to see him do this on Broadway... One of the most fun theater experiences of my entire life.

[soccergladiator5]

I'm playing a french maid in my school's production of this :) It's fun

[thykothak]

He reminds me of Jack Black, for some reason...

[superlittleboots]

does john lithgow muck up his lines?

[Dre2387]

[mileyluvr1116]

hes my best friend's dad :)

[lexidurr]

I think he is sooooooo hot

[WhyIAm7]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way he says, "I WANT SOME SH.. REALLY NICE CRAP!!!!" hahahaha!!!

[chlsmoe]

"oh my god the whole thing turns!"

[TheViciousCabaret]

I love his dancing throughout the whole thing. <3

[jaygrl21]

i saw this broadway show at my friends' brother's school

[3GuysInCabinProd]

this sounds like a song that steve martin would sing. haha

[kreider42]

I remember seeing that song years ago on the macy's parade.

[OBCBW]

Holy crap that man is out of control!!! :) I got to see him do this role on tour... he was shamelessly amazing!!!

[ilovenatW]

omg!!!!!!!!! FIYERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

[CAFFFINATED]

OMG! I saw this when it aired, and was impressed, but seeing it again...HE IS INCREDIBLE!

Yes, Norbert Leo Butz is the original Fiyero.

Yes, that's John Lithgow. (He was born in my hometown!)

Norbert TOTALLY deserved the Tony!

[greenkay]

I know for a fact that guy is John Lithgow ...he sounds just like Lord Farquad lol

[truthaboutflu]

He is the sh*t! Cute scoundrel :)

[fortissimo1331]

Wasn't Norbert Leo Butz Fiyero from Wicked?

[TangoMaureen07]

Yes he was in the obc

[mrsralbinopumpkinhea]

"OH MY GOD THE WHOLE THING TURNS!"

LOL.

[ilovenatW]

hahahahahaha xD amazing xD

[touchdown4890]

Noberto Leo Butz

[supersecretdcofan123]

Thanks.

[supersecretdcofan123]

Who's singing this? I think the one guy is John lithgow, i think. But, who's actually singing? I remember this at our dance recital.

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

i love how he almost said "some really classy shit" lmao.

[7rarejewels]

I think it's snazzy.

[aishabe]

He is SO AMAZING.

[PenandPencil08]

was this before or after "Wicked"?

[Dre2387]

this was after.

[ztslovebird]

So THAT'S where he's from! I knew I recognised him from somewhere! Strange, though; he doesn't look as monkey-ish in this video.

[shanmer391]

@PenandPencil08 After, in 2006

[Blossomstar747]

LOL Gotta luv NLB!!! ^^ Just so Hilarious!!!

[ztslovebird]

lol, I liked his personal censorship; got me interested enough to hear the normal version and get the whole musical for my Ipod!

[Blossomstar747]

So true! He's one of the reasons why i even bought the songs at all!! ^^

[the1crowdpleaser]

I love him. I just performed "great big stuff" and it's on my page, check it out!

[multiph]

Just checked your page - but didn't find "Great big stuff from there".

[jamespart2]

HAHAHAHA! OWNED BY MULTIPH!!!

Still cruel though.

[multiph]

Found it now :) ... last time didn't find that - seriously! Quite nice.

[JennaLeighhh]

such a good show. i saw it on kid's night so everyone was fooling around - - which made it 10X better.

[EleahB]

norbert is incredible

[AngelOfMusic144]

i have to see this show. norbert is incredible, and the songs are so good!!

[SashaDaae]

I saw the tour too. It was awesome.

[jimmers205]

I want lots of... really.. nice crap!

[6shatter6chandelier6]

That wasn't the original line, but he had to censor it for the Tony Awards.

[EleahB]

i want lots of snazzy shit

[hillbizzle]

His last name is Butz.... so like at returants are they like table for 2, Butz.... Table for 2...?

[starpotter04]

I just want someone to love me....FOR MY MONEY!!!!

[forgetregret12]

Norbert Leo Butz is so funny. I love his voice. It's so sexy. Not ex

[xhaydensgirlx]

Aww, Norbert is so cute.

[dstarr201]

"oh my GOD the whole thing turns!!!"....LOL

[iluvnlb]

he actually says that during the show and during one scene the after the stage spins around to him in a chair he said OMG I'm feeling stage sick or other times he'll say something like I feel like jean val jean... teehee norbs!

[antinormie]

How much time was there between him leaving Wicked and starting DRS?

[MasqueradeParade]

i wish i could go see it

i would be the happiest person in the world

[flightlessphoenix]

I just saw this on tour with D.B.Bonds as Freddie. He was absolutely incredible! I loved it!

[MasqueradeParade]

i want my own personal zamboni

[FolwanMojo]

hah wow, I saw this last night in San Antonio as well. I fell in love with this.

[moosepower93]

lol. so who do you like better, Norbert or Todd?

[iluvnlb]

dude norbert is waaaaaay better I saw him 3 nights in a row at ocpac and talked to him after two of them who really kicks it about two steps below norbert but 20 above todd is tim norb's understudy

[moosepower93]

don't get me wrong or anything Norbert is AMAZING but i saw the show last night in san antonio with TODD ANDERSON in the role of freddy and he was soooo much better.

[rainbowspotter]

wow, norbert is so good. I saw this last night, and he wasn't in it :*(. Wonderful though I <3 this!

[pico6921]

norbert rocks

[Mungojerriestar]

It sounded deliberate.

[MicheleAE]

he started to say "shit" on purpose, then switched to crap. it was funnier that way cuz people could tell it was changed

[defyinggravity89]

norbie is so amazingly gorgeous and talented!! ah i LOVE him!!

[hasmig]

Norbert is the best!!

[thinkofme2419]

Norbert Leo Butz is awesome!

[theevilgumby]

brian darcy is pretty good too so sad its leaving

[nateman703]

God I loved this musical, he was spectacular.

[chenolicious]

I want some really ss--NICE CRAP!!

haha, that's great. I love Norb.

[dstarr201]

OMG, this is SUCH a funny song! I'd never heard it before! And I LOVE Norbert! he's amazing. THANK YOU for this!!! :)

[idazzle]

Haha best song ever! I am soooooooooooooooooect. happy that I got to see both him and John Lithgow!!!! they were both amazing! abd H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S-!!!!! THANX 4 postin!!!

[gablewriter]

"Oh my god, the whole thing turns!"

I feel privileged that, seeing its second preview in San Diego, I'm one of the first people to have seen it. Being the first thing I saw Norbert Leo Butz in, I was damn impressed with this young guy stealing the show from John Lithgow.

[dstarr201]

that's my favorite line!! lol awesome.

[VioletaPython]

The pills that keep me happy even when I'm suicidal!

[elvenringbearer]

No one will EVER EVER EVER EVEEEEEEEER replace Norbert Leo Butz. He is and will always be the best Freddy Benson. I didn't get to see him when I was in broadway yesterday because he was on Vacation. Crap in a bucket, that sucked. But I can always see a video, I guess.

[oolia]

I've watched this video a hundred times (ok maybe not that many...) and I just love it. I hear Norbert Leo Butz is leaving the show 7/16. Yikes! I'll miss him. He's too funny.

[drummerbaby]

Love!

[corsairstw]

Quality's kinda bad.. great song though!

[inlovewithJLT]

This song is full of amazing lines but my all-time favorite (and the one my friends and I said to each other for weeks after we saw the show) has got to be: "I just want someone to love me... FOR MY MONEY!!"

[trewingo01]

He is so amazing, thanks for posting

[thehimynameis]

Oh god, he's so amazing.

[MissElphieThropp]

I LOVE NORBERT!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE VOICE! i love it when he goes, "I'd get me a posse- aii-iight!"

[endlessMedley]

haha, he's amazing. "oh my GOD the whole thing turns!" haha I loved that part!

[oceanfireoracle]

Norbert is amazing, his stage presence is so strong and his nuances are so intelligent and comical!

[angelforrent]

I saw it in NY I was so good!! I couldn't stop laughing! Although when I saw it John Lithoqow didn't play Lawrence Jamieson instead it was Jonathan Pryce who was just as good!!!

[blackpython]

*swoon-age* I love Norbert. I want to have his babies. I found the word changes funny (not as funny as the song really is, but listening to it, you can tell he just really wants to sing the real words). I loved the "I want some real c- nice crap!"

[angimer]

so...did he mess up when he said crap?  i can't really tell if he was gonna say somethin else

[bassman462]

i think its shit, but he can't say that at the tonys.

[ztslovebird]

lol, and yet a few years earlier they almost let the cast of Avenue Q use "Fuck".

[princesszelda123456]

they did use it

[ztslovebird]

I know, but they had the bleep, so it doesn't really count.

[princesszelda123456]

okay

[littlepipandcowbell]

but it was in front of a live audience

[alexidarling1]

yeah... he's supposed to say "I want some really classy shit" but he wasn't allowed to say that

[theangelslove]

no he didnt mess up. he's supposed to say "shit" but you cant do any major cussing at the Tonys so he said "crap".

[alexidarling1]

well, technically he did mess up here, because he started to say shit and he wasny supposed to. but i get your meaning.

[lekim23]

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Norbert is amazing *swwooons*

[flyingelphiemonkey2]

I LOVE NORB!

HE JUST MAKES ME MELT!

lol!

[SSimagination1024]

yea..I want to be his best friend! lmao Norbert rocks!

[librag]

Thank you so much for this one! I just love Norbert Leo Butz. He so deserved the Tony! I'd love to see his acceptance speech :)

[Dre2387]

I want to be his girlfriend!

[matthewjames]

i want to be norbert's man!!!!

[matthewjames]

i love norbert

i want to be his boyfriend!!!!

[AnnitheDiva]

The edited version is is, um, *interesting.* 'I want some really nice shn-crap!'

[smartyjones87]

yeah i agree. the original version is MUCH funnier :-D

[smartyjones87]

this show has to be one of the funniest ones out there. i was laughing the entire time. :-D
