In this special evening of story and song, Mr. Butz sings highlights from his storied three decades on Broadway. From his humble beginning as the 7th of 11 children (his first bed was a drawer!) to being one of only 9 actors to win a Tony Award twice for Best Actor in a Broadway Musical. Norbert originated roles on Broadway in Jason Robert Browns’ The Last Five Years, Stephen Schwartz’s Wicked, Andrew Lippa’s Big Fish, Harry Connick Jr’s Thou Shalt Not (Tony nomination), Lincoln Center 2018 revival of My Fair Lady (Tony nomination) and his two Tony Winning performances in David Yazbek’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Shaiman and Whitman’s Catch Me If You Can. In addition to excerpts from his signature roles, this versatile hyphenate will share a few original compositions from his 4 solo records and some surprising covers from Tom Waits, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. Expect the unexpected in this singular evening of musical entertainment, by one of Broadway’s legendary leading men.
Mr Butz’s television and film credits include the upcoming A Complete Unknown, starring opposite Timothee Chalamet for director James Mangold, FX/Ryan Murphy series Gladiator, American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, as well as the recent Exorcist sequel: Believer by David Gordon Green, Netflix’s Bloodline, Fosse/Verdon, and Justified: City Primeval.
