Some people are saying they’re too masculine, but as a non-binary person I must defend Norbert’s choices. The emcee IS NON-BINARY which means they can do whatever the fuck they want. I would know.

I don’t know that I personally agree with the take that Emcee is non-binary as my take is that (while yes they’re a tangible person) they’re more of a spectre of what’s to come for the rest of the show. But I don’t hate that take at all.

I looooce NLB but let's be honest no one beats Alan in this role. However I feel like my life would be so complete if Aaron tveit also played the emcee at some point.

Norbert Butz is perfect for this part - unexpected, a little dangerous with ambiguous sexuality - closer to Joel Grey and WAY better than Alan Cummings who was predictable.

This is the Sam Mendes production, and Alan Cumming was the MC - this is the touring production.

@SuperBananaChannel How is he German? Because he's German! He is the Emcee of a nightclub in BERLIN, which is in GERMANY. Apparently they have a lot of patrons who speak French and English, because he says everything 3 times, in German, French, and English. So when he speaks English, it's with a German accent, not a French accent. Germans can say "Je suis enchanté" and remain German. Can't believe you missed the fact that the lyrics are in three languages.

Hm. Not the role for Norbert, I think. He has too much masculine physicality and emcee requires androgyny. But he's still one of the best around.
@Amy-hm9cp3 жыл бұрын
I disagree because the role is non-binary. The emcee can adopt as many “masculine “ or “feminine” traits as they want. I’m non-binary so I would know.

You know what though? Compared to some other Emcee performances...there is something completely masculine about his. Like...when Alan Cumming does it, it is so flaming. Norbert, not so much. I get a little bit of a frat boy vibe when he improv dances at certain parts...anyone else?

I'm with 3goodtimes. I love NL Butz, but I remember watching this show when it aired originally, before I knew who he was, and thinking everything about him is wrong (except that he's obviously talented). Too muscular, too overtly masculine, too Aryan looking. And perhaps it's just because they need to go quickly for a TV spot, but this whole performance feels too rushed and frantic. This is '30s jazz. It should be relaxed. Love him in Wicked, Last 5 Years, and Catch Me...but this one just doesn't work.

I kinda agree with everyone saying this role wasn't the best for Norbert but, then again, I'm not sure. I guess it depends on the approach to the role the producers and the actor are pursuing. No doubt that the likes of Joel Grey and Alan Cumming set the pace and the image for this role (and even for this act specifically). But I don't dislike this approach - a flamboyant more masculine Emcee, giving us all a bit of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Cummings was WAY off in this show. Butz' interpretation is more like Joel Grey.

@SuperBananaChannel um, okay then, when he speaks French, it's with a German accent, not a French accent. You made a snarky comment about the actor not doing a good French accent, when the character is the one speaking French as a second language. And I'm done defending him to you; I'm sure you have a long list of successful and talented people you need to go snipe at from the comfort of your computer chair. Carry on.
