This arrangement has major Roger from RENT vibes and I’m here for it.

*puts Roger/Mark shipping glasses on*

[@antiocotart]

With the e guitar twangs and sound effects I was waiting for the curses from the RENT show like im in the theater .Great miscast.

[@sarahweidner8970]

Yes!!!

[@rickydavis5422]

I'm watching Bloodline this minute and can't believe this drunken alcoholic is this same man. Awesome

[@morgancavanaugh6636]

He’s just gotten better and better thru the years.

[@moonspinner1299]

Just coming back to watch this after Miscast21 because this is one of the all time greatest performances 🔥

[@johnmcgowan5910]

Over a year later, and I keep returning. I never really paid much attention to this song even though I grew up with JCS and Godspell in Catholic high school. I love the harder rock arrangement and the way Mr. Butz starts softly, builds, peaks, and comes back down. What an outstanding and versatile voice, and strong stage presence. Beautiful work.

Hey! I went to college with Norbert. He was always this good. Also a great dramatic actor. This is so nice to see.

[@jacobmccain8794]

Norbert is an absolute story teller and always sings with everything he has. He’s amazing! He totally changed up this song and it still has that same sadness and emotion. The rock n roll of it might actually make it more emotional in my opinion.

[@AA-eg3nf]

Had a crush on Norbert before, now I'm obsessed lol

[@omgthisissoawesome]

He has such a beautiful voice

[@vbplayer50]

When you thought this song could never be performed better........now this.

[@markt4416]

[@jabberwockyings]

[@paulahardeman6103]

I have no words on how good this is so I speak in the words of my cats. MEOW!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheAlice5809]

I love this song and have heard many versions. This is by far the best , he nailed it. Amazing performance.

[@Sunvio]

I saw you in Rent on Broadway and later I saw you in Wicked in SF. You signed my Wicked program for me and you were so nice. Sending you love & hugs. Please keep singing & performing.

[@Maria_Efe]

It's been weeks and I can't stop listening to this! ♥

[@357rbdee]

Does anyone else have that thing where you prefer one person's singing voice above all others? Because this is it for me, I love it so much I immediately donated $20- a low amount considering how often I'm going to replay this

[@oceansjenny]

Love Norbert’s voice. It’s perfection.

[@abelardoleon1]

Wow! This version made me cry. You did it, Norbert. Congrats!

[@twokatstabbie]

Wouldn't we all want to sing like this in our living rooms? or any time??!!

[@elifraser2783]

OUTSTANDING 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jtcowboy5518]

Wow! He nailed it!

[@sarahweidner8970]

Sir -you could sing a phone book and I would listen. One of the most talented humans of our time. And so very kind. I met you about 20 years ago and won’t ever forget it!

[@Maria_Efe]

I'm in love with this arrangement!

[@gordoncraig5667]

[@alanwitchey4013]

I love this

[@bartolomejikrop]

teda ty máš skvělej hlas :))

[@yatwobob]

Helen Reddy covered this song. She just passed. Rest In Peace.

[@mikewolf5367]

Is it me or is there a typo in the title? This is an absolutely positively amazing performance hands down.

[@oldforestsystem]

I'm a huge theater nerd but I've never liked jesus christ superstar (blasphemy I know lol) but this arrangement is amazing?!? It did the unthinkable, actually make me like a song from that stinkin musical 😂😂 well done

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

The show is just one act and as fantastic as the music is the staging is not particularly interesting usually.

[@susankitts9004]

Is this available to buy?! I want it on my playlist. So good.

[@iainronald4217]

So much for living the unexamined life, lol.

[@ashareeoo]

😮👏🥰

[@kathrynbrown6455]

3:26 was that an engine rev??? This arrangement is so sexy

[@bookofdust]

I’ve been trying to understand the concept of key change, does one happen at 2:35?

[@DAS1962]

It does, and in this instance you need to think of the original context of the song within the musical.

[@robertstalnaker5728]

Who knew?!

[@yatwobob]

This guy can sing his butz off. (apologies)

[@carlotitabianchi9357]

Who are you?I like your voice and this song

[@jazzkidstl]

This is 2-time Tony Award-winning Norbert Leo Butz. Search his name on youtube and enjoy more. ☮️

[@carlotitabianchi9357]

From Argentina,I saw in youtube and like your voice

[@MH-yu7gw]

Bloodline too! That’s how I first got to see him

[@nancymartin2041]

Yeah!!!! Just watched Bloodline… should have won best actor …. And… you can sing like this?????

[@mikep5043]

Damn, aside from being thrown off by the pronoun, you ROCKED, dude! VERY well done!!

[@teresaglover3615]

Hmm

[@baritonebynight]

I love the idea of a man singing this, but sliding into pitches certainly is more than annoying.
