Norbert Leo Butz in Cabaret
April 24, 2007
In Dramarama, the kids are obsessed with the musical Cabaret.
Because it is unbelievably awesome, that's why.
And they talk on and on about it, and obsess over it, and sing it and listen to it.
So that's one thing.
Another thing is, I love Norbert Leo Butz, because I saw him on Broadway in his Tony-winning performance in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and he was so funny and disgusting I fell off my chair.
Now -- a joy jolt from YouTube, courtesy of Little Willow!
Here is Butz IN CABARET. He played the MC on tour in the Sam Mendes/Rob Marshall production that originally starred Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson. Which I saw.
Attention: this video is kinda PG-13. I mean, it's the opening number of Cabaret, in all its multi-lingual perversity.
Enjoy.
And if you have something similarly musicaltheater-tastic to shoot me, stick it in the comments. They're actually open.
