"Catch Me if you Can" 2011 Tony Awards performance

[JeanannPKHand]

I cannot stop watching this!

[CBJ1628]

God, I love Aaron Tveit and Norbert Leo Butz <3

[mlwx]

oohwhee it's tripp from gossip girl :)

[RJSummer627]

I saw this live in living color and it's probabably one of my favorite shows. It's brilliant. And Aaron Tveit and Norbert Leo Butz are as well.

[CrazedFrazer]

My love <3 NLB is an absolute shape-shifter. Didn't even recognize him until about half way through when I first watched it.

[thesuperstar864]

I was honestly astounded when I found out it was Norbert up there playing that character... He truly is a modern theatre legend!

[futuresuperstar4life]

hey is the black girl dancer in how to succeed now?? i swear she is!

[smichelle65]

Good job, CBS: pulling the camera back @ 3:06--just in time for us to miss Norbert's moonwalk!

[MischiefMovieMakers]

I am so happy that Aaron is playing Enjolras in the Les Miserables film :')

[projectUNITE]

hey! its fiyero :D

[bianic41]

Tveit got cast as Enjolras in the film version of Les Miserables. I'm so glad they cast him, he sure can sing!!



[LogicallyFilms]

Norbert's performance is ASTOUNDING! His energy is so amazing and he's just...wow.

[trut28]

Can you believe they almost let Nathan Lane take this role instead??

[phylosaccount]

Aaron Tveit will neeeeever get a tony if he keeps overacting and overall behaving like a ultra hyperactive clown clown.

Heh, only here the difference is abysmal between him and Butz. He's probably the better singer, but Butz is actually an actor.

[Aleenapoo]

I love how NLB plays a college age kid in Wicked (2006) and then 5 years later, plays an older guy in Catch Me If You Can (2011). Gotta love the guy! ♥

[AdamEfimoff]

@Aleenapoo this musical is about Ireland's potato famine and how a witch makes dogs from potatoes, and makes kills everyone.

[DeltaKilo3]

@Aleenapoo Older? He's playing a 16-20-year-old.

[quietcryingrage]

@DeltaKilo3 Aaron is playing a 16-20 year old. She said NLB :)

[DeltaKilo3]

@quietcryingrage I had to look up what you said because it was too unbelievable. I had NO idea that Norbert Leo Butz was Fiyero. I had assumed everyone was talking about Aaron when they said "The guy who did Fiyero is playing this part!"

[clownrus]

@DeltaKilo3 Norbert is THE Fiyero. He originated the role.

[DeltaKilo3]

@clownrus Yeah, I know. I don't know what my comment said, but I knew that whichever actor it was was the one who originated the role.

[clownrus]

@DeltaKilo3 Your comment is right ther. One of the last people to post on this video, haha. And you had said you didn't know NLB had played Fiyero at all, you thought they were referring to Aaron Tveit when they spoke about Fiyero.

[DeltaKilo3]

@clownrus Yeah, I know that I mixed up the actors. I did know that whoever played the role was the original.

[silvibell]

the female dancers forgot to put their trousers on for the last dance... 

[broadwaygirl58]

Saw this in June before it closed. It was amazing!

[SarahBASHful]

Holy Mama! What a talent!

[MonocleRabbit]

What amazing choreography.

[abnormallycrazy1313]

aaron tveit is frickin' FANTASTIC

[apeygirl]

Norbert Leo Butz. What a horrible name for a tremendous, versatile talent. Seriously. that supposedly middle-aged FBI agent is about 30. The voice, the body language, the commitment! No one can ever say this man didn't deserve this award!

[colenefsky]

@apeygirl he's 44



[karaokegirl1313]

My first thought upon seeing this was "my gosh, Norbert Leo Butz got old" then, I remembered the first picture i ever saw of him was from Wicked about 10 years ago...Even so, he super awesome!

[broadwaydreamer237]

I saw the matinee yesterday...it was fantastic. Aaron and Norbert were fantastic and the show was AMAZING.

[AngelaCatsaros01]

i saw this last night, aaron's last performance i believe...and he was AMAZING!!!!!!

[yabbaification]

Absolutely brilliant. I love this!!!

[SupernovaProds]

O didn't know that was Norbert Leo Butz until he won the Tony. lol Fail. I love his voice so much

[sayisrad]

@SupernovaProds That just goes to show what an amazing actor he is!

[linkinluvlive]

dude i didnt know they did a musical of this lol

[linkinluvlive]

dude i didnt know they did a musical of this lol

[bobandbobber]

Any else notice how "criminally" short those girls outfits were? :)

[JudoCreature]

Does anyone know why there's a huge chunk of the song in the middle just cut out in every version of this song?

[TweekleDee]

@JudoCreature Censors.

[JudoCreature]

@TweekleDee I fail to see what could have been so risque about such a long portion of song... and I can't seem to find a lyrics page anywhere. Know what the lyrics from the censored part were?

[TweekleDee]

@JudoCreature Oh, I agree with you. The cut out part was something like, "...screw his daughter or his wife."

But earlier he said "Payback is a bitch". Hmm.

[JudoCreature]

@TweekleDee That's so incredibly mild, though. They're so strange with what they choose to censor. I wish everyone would just leave off censoring musical performances entirely... it completely ruins the flow of the song.

[DanceQueen119]

I saw this show on broadway a few nights ago, and it was probably one of the best shows I've seen ever (and I've seen a LOT of shows)! @nafruito - did we go to the same show? Because that's exactly what happened when I was there! Either that or Norbert Leo Butz is just THAT amazing an actor that he gets standing ovations every time he performs...

[Tarheel1000]

I saw this on Broadway and it is awesome. I know one of the girls in the chorus.

[modernorpheus]

Anyone have the lyrics?

[ProblemStick]

if i ever met a guy that sang like aaron tveit, i'd be so thrilled.

norbert leo butz... i miss you as fiyero...

[cam11971]

wow norbert leo butz has really changed since his wicked days.

[nafruito]

This number isn't as good here as it is live. I had chills up and down my arms just watching it. He was absolutely fantastic, and we must have clapped for two minutes straight. It was the first immediate standing ovation in the middle of an act I had ever seen.

[simoncowell207]

@nafruito

I cannot imagine! I haven't seen a live show in so long. I saw this on the Tony broadcast and have been obsessed with it since. Hope to see it live soon!

[simoncowell207]

@simoncowell207

P.S.

Please ignore my stupid name.

[ByronDZero]

Fiyero x 2!!!!!



[DreamingOfATony]

Saw this show a week or two after it opened. Absolutely brilliant, although I feel it was under-recognized at the Tonys. Aaron should have been nominated for best actor as well (the way Kristin and Idina were).

[haslamwelsh]

My, my Fiyero. You sure look different.

[Procrastina777]

@haslamwelsh LOL I know right

[ichitastical]

It's all the same to me!! You're either GUILTY, OR YOU'RE NOT!!

[asdfkie]

One more spiderman joke: This song should be featured in the spiderman musical!

[dmlthegreat]

norbert leo butz's has a very distinctive voice...

[dmlthegreat]

@dmlthegreat *butz

[vonpoon16]

thanks for posting!!

[schadesofgrey]

how does this one have the least views?

[slowduck123]

God. Butz killed it. What a beast.

[Twiflyfan19]

i LOVE Aaron Tveit!

[HikariDragonRyuu]

I love how Aaron's introduction is timed perfectly with the orchestra.

[TheDeliciousQ]

@taylorekoch oh good. I wasn't the only one making that connection :D

[Ateka9]

Wow!

[elbruces]

Cab Calloway has been reincarnated, and he's a not a schlubby white guy named Norbert.

[themeggzerz]

lol if only Leonardo dicaprio accually sang in this. that would kill me bahahaha

[Angersandlowes]

I daw that on broadway the other dqy..same oactors...very good

[Procrastina777]

The first guy can SING! O_O

[TheAlpacaChannel]

@Procrastina777 seriously? the first guy? that's Aaron Tveit! only the best singer ever!!!!!

[mchammar416]

@TheAlpacaChannel and once again no tony nomination...

[alegreone]

I LOVE Norbert Leo Butz's performance here. Amazing! Haven't seen anyone dance like that since Jimmy Cagney....
