I went and saw Papermills INSANELY FREAKING FABULOUS production of Ratime ( can you tell I enjoyed it)..... while I was in Millburn, I spotted Norbert Leo Butz in Cold Stone there......
It was too late for him to get back to the show unless he is helicoptered in each night... does he live there? Maybe he was seeing Ragtime! Who knows.......
I'd be curious to knwo if he performed Sat. Night .. if not its cause he was at Cold Stone.. he he he he.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 1:52amI believe he called out because he was having throat problems at the matinee and needed vocal rest.

I just realized, your last name is Butz! Both "Norbert" AND "Butz" are in your name! You must have gotten picked on a lot as a child!

Guess when his doctor puts him on vocal rest, he goes and sees other shows! LOL 
Gotta keep himself entertained somehow.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:03amThey're overpriced for their mediocre ice cream. The Chinatown Ice Cream Factory--now THAT'S ice cream.

Cold Stone Creamery has the most wonderful ice cream. And, yes, I'm totally biased because I work at one, haha.
Norbert Leo Butz, the new face of Cold Stone.
Heck, if he were a spokesperson for Cold Stone, I'd go there.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 2:09amThespian--Go there!! Literally the best ice cream ever. Well, you have to go to Chinatown anyway if you'll be in NYC! Go to Wo Hop or Mr. Tangs for dinner then the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory for dessert!

HaHa....the Birthday Cake Remix definitely makes me sick...but only after I've had too much! Gotta love it

Well, in July, go to Cold Stone instead because our Red Pan Flavor of the Month is wasabi ginger. It's totally better than ICF's.

HeyMrMusic, I work at Coldstone also! But only untill the 30th and then im movin. Norbert would be an awesome spokesperson!
#16re: Norbert out Sat. night cause of Ice Cream!!!
Posted: 6/20/05 at 9:18amColdstone does have really awesome ice cream, but back to Norbert... he does live in Milburn which would explain why you saw him there.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 9:22amI think he actually lives in Maplewood (that's where he gets on the train). But it's one town over -- literally on the border. And I see him at the barber shop in Millburn.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 9:26amA bit off-topic. I was on the train to the Penn Station to see La Cage, and I think I saw Norbert, or someone who looks like him. He seemed like he was in a rush, so I didn't bother him to ask.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 10:13amOh, how I love all these Nor-bits (sorry!) ever since and before Norbs won the Tony.
#21re: Norbert out Sat. night cause of Ice Cream!!!
Posted: 6/20/05 at 10:24amThat's really funny...doctor puts him on vocal rest and he goes to get ice cream, which is NOT good for your vocal chords....ohhh norbert, how scandalous of you!
awkward.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 10:30amoh everyone deserves to play hooky sometime or another. at least he got an excuse from the doctor, not like some who just win their tony and stop showing up cause they think theyre the sh**t
you may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have

Oh no...my roommate is in NY right now and went to go see DRS Saturday, mainly for Norbert.
She's gonna be soooo mad.
I hope he's better soon. Not only for his sake, but I'm going to NY July 2 to see DRS!
