In 1997 my sister went to see the RENT, and she got to see it with the original cast. For years I was jealous of her. Recently I was looking at her Playbill, and I noticed something. On the night she went to see it, Adam Pascal was out as Roger. In his place was a young man named Nobert Leo Butz. She got to see him before the TONYs, before "Wicked", before "The Last Five Years", when he was pretty much an unknown.

I think it's just really cool that the real Frank Abagnale Jr. has gotten to see his story by Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks (movie) as well as Aaron Tveit and NLB (Broadway). That's so surreal
@LisaFosbender9 жыл бұрын
I was lucky enough to see this show on Broadway. I've seen literally hundreds of Broadway shows over the years, and I've only seen musical numbers stop the show a couple of times. This one did. We would have happily sat there--hell, stood there and clapped and cheered for hours. NLB had to stop us so the show could go on; I suspect he did that a lot. Just a perfect mesh of music, lyrics, choreography, and performance.
@mckenna86637 жыл бұрын
Lisa... I would have LOVED to have been there. THIS song (but more... this PERFORMANCE) is EXCEPTIONAL!! I got into my daughter's car last night- and as a treat, she had this song playing for me. It made my night! I asked her, "who is this singing?" And she nodded - "yes, mom. It's Norbert Leo Butz." Damn RIGHT, it is! Have you SEEN the video of it?? (Mom, how do you think I came to love it? You made me watch it a few times.) Broadway History in a short video clip. Norbert is SUCH a favorite, and this is an example of his best work.

+krisushi1 I actually disagree. I think Aaron definitely deserved one, but the competition this year was so high that they couldn't give him one. And whilst credit would be due in a year where there isn't such competition, but that year it was so high that he couldn't beat them. Also, he doesn't act for awards, he acts because it's his passion
@krisushi19 жыл бұрын
Isaac Tindall I agree with both your points. It's all about the quality of the nominees that dictates who gets the nod. I doubt also that Aaron cares for awards too. It's easy to tell from his performances that just being out there on stage is more than enough for him.
