That clichéd term "show-stopping number" most definitely applies to "Don't Break the Rules," the big first-act song that helped carry Norbert Leo Butz to a 2011 Best Actor Tony Award in Catch Me If You Can. You may have seen Norbert in action on Late Night with David Letterman (click here immediately if you didn't!), and now Broadway.com's got an advance peek at how the song came together on the show's newly released original cast recording on Ghostlight Records. Click on to enjoy, then get tickets to see Norbert and his co-stars live at the Neil Simon Theatre.

This is his best role to date. A well deserved Tony.

"you don't think of repercussions as you taP DANCE THROUGH YOUR LIFE"

[@joejoejoeil3165]

And both Norbert and Aaron were Fiyero in wicked lmao

[@partyinthetardis]

What a talent. I love that he's still performing even though he's just recording :)

[@donaldoconner]

i love how this song builds. subtle to showstopper

[@emmamueller3921]

Love NLB!!!!! He and Aaron tveit are fantastic together

[@andresfelipe619]

Such incredible energy coming out of this performance!

[@sakurakiss35]

Its funny! Both actors for Frank and Detective Hanratty played Fiyero in Wicked at some point xD

[@LoyalTideFan]

LOVE the expression in the spoken/sung rules. You see the story unfold just from that. NLB is a master! And what a great orchestra and backup singers!

[@barbarabrant3173]

So Damn Good.

[@dottieward4010]

I adore him!

[@jfscotch]

Incredibly talented!

[@courtneyknight2407]

I got to tear his ticket at Playwrights Horizons once, it was wonderful. 😍

legend

[@octaveman]

Man, I hate it when the video editors throw in random shots of the band and the clip has nothing to do with the track. The trumpet players don't play flugel on this chart yet that's all you see them playing. I'm doing this show right now at Moonlight Theatre in Vista, CA playing lead trumpet and this show is a total blast to play.

[@maeve_d5570]

Bob Worthington it's funny, they show them playing flugles as you hear trumpets

[@chloesharpe8940]

Agreed!! Just did this at my school playing bass, but definitely no flugel in this one! As amazing as it is seeing them sing, I would love to see more orchestra, and maybe some sax, especially when that raging tenor comes in

[@mandothegamer3974]

they are all very good

[@ethannavarro943]

Aaron deserved a nomination, at the least, but Norbert was fantastic

[@supersingerevan]

HANRATTY: It starts very early- Once the baby toys are gone A kid on the playground has to choose what side he's on It's the bullies or the good guys, boy there ain't no middle ground Though hoodlums try to blur the line and twist the truth around Then they call themselves a winner- but they're self deceiving fools Cause the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules The law is laid upon us when as kids we first ask "why?" Our parents set the rules when, "cause I said so" they reply And though I thought I hated them and screamed with all my might The next time that I had a choice, gee whiz I did what's right No, I never snuck a drink I never stole a pack of "Kools" Cause the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Or else we're livin in the wild, wild west! AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Gods keeping score. You don't want to fail that test! AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive ENSEMBLE (agents plus Hanratty): But those rules, those laws, keep us alive! HANRATTY: Well it started back with Moses when he led around the Jews And climbed way up that mountain to pick up Gods daily news He schlepped up old Mt. Sinai, cried and begged on their behalf He almost dropped those tablets when he saw that golden calf Now we teach the Ten Commandments... AGENTS: Every Sunday in our schools HANRATTY: Cause the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules AGENTS: And baby I guess... HANRATTY: I guess the Constitution boys, to some is too complex AGENTS: We're thinking they think... HANRATTY: They think our founding fathers fought so they could forge some checks AGENTS: And now it's looking they see themselves... HANRATTY: They see themselves as Robin Hood; stealing from the rich AGENTS: But don't you know they're not paying back... HANRATTY: Not paying back the things they take. Well payback is a bitch Cause the world ain't Sherwood Forest ENSEMBLE: You can't give away those jewels HANRATTY: And the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Or else we're livin in the wild, wild west! AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Gods keeping score and you don't want to fail that test! AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive! ENSEMBLE: But those rules, those laws, keep us alive! AGENTS: US ALIVE!!!!! HANRATTY: When you steal somebody's money Screw his daughter or his wife You don't think of repercussions As you tap dance through your life Though you smile like you're a hero You're an outlaw through and through But the odds are in my favor man... ENSEMBLE: And one day I'll catch you! HANRATTY: So go sneak into a movie Run a red light, sell some pot It's all the same to me You're either guilty or you're not If we all did what we wanted Every time we felt the urge ENSEMBLE: The world would be in total chaos!!!! HANRATTY: It's already on the verge Yes its laws that keep us human... ENSEMBLE: Cause without them we're just mules And the game ain't worth winning.. HANRATTY(spoken): Yes! ENSEMBLE: The game ain't worth winning... HANRATTY(spoken): No! ENSEMBLE: The game ain't worth winning... HANRATTY: If you're breaking all the rules AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Or else we're living in the wild, wild west AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: Gods keeping score, you don't want to fail that test! AGENTS: Don't break the rules! HANRATTY: You thumb your nose right at the light for which I strive! ENSEMBLE: But those rules, those laws... HANRATTY(spoken): Whatcha say? ENSEMBLE: Those rules, those laws... HANRATTY(spoken): Again boys! ENSEMBLE: Those rules, those laws, keep us alive!
