Wow. Check out Norbert Leo Butz. He just gets more attractive and healthy with age. The transformation from Wicked in 2003 - in which he was also very handsome - is amazing. Can't wait to see him and my other favorites, Lithgow and Scott, in this.
I have been following the development of this show ever since Stokes was first attached. I can't wait to see it! I've had "Great Big Stuff" stuck in my head for weeks now. This show looks like its going to be amazing. And even more exciting...WE GET ANOTHER RECORDING WITH NORBERT!!!!

i think this show may just trump spamelot and be the next producers (fingers crossed) although i hope to get tickets to both
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
First time I became familar with the story. HIGHLY look forward to this!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Thanks for posting! Made my day. So glad that I'll finally get to see Sherie and Norbert on stage together, provided I can snag tickets (I never saw L5Y). Looks like it's going to be a great show, and of course the cast should be phenomenal!
I'm an idiot and can't find the new thread...sorry!
I too, think this show looks really great! It'll be fab to see John Lithgow live on stage.
Was Norbert kidding when he said he was outing his and John's relationship? I don't think so, he was very sincere about it. If they're really a pair, good for them. :)
