Get tickets to "Big Fish": www.broadway.co...
On the 100th episode of Show People, Norbert Leo Butz chats about Daphne Rubin-Vega's dirty jokes, making Kristin Chenoweth cry, rocking leather jackets and "Wicked" earrings, and why "Big Fish" is like Beaches for straight guys.

So sad that Big Fish didn't last. It's a BEAUTIFUL show. It's amazing and is personal to everyone no matter if you are in a good place in your life or a bad place. It will make you cry. This is coming from someone who never cries.

the bromaaaance
met norbert this summer
what a sweetheart :)

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

***** I'm jealous of myself XD I got to hug him and it was raining yet he still smelt like love and hugs. I really hope to work with him someday.

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

you are lyiNG TO ME OMG

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

***** Elphaba? Fiyero?

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

i feel like i'd be hated for saying this, but i don't really see Samantha playing Elphaba.. her vocals are amazing... but not strong enough :/ Aaron obviously, seeing that he's played him before.... I actually have never liked the idea of a Wicked movie, because it seems a bit... hokey, you know? Les Mis, Phantom, RENT, sure... but Wicked seems a little over the top. And if it is to be compared to the show that's STILL ON BROADWAY FOR THAT MATTER, it will never add up. it won't have the same effect... ?

[@RachelZeglerLovesHugs]

***** i just don't see it happening. Her performance of Defying Gravity on IDA didn't impress me like some of her other work...

[@ashtoneva4926]

I love norbert. He's has so many successful roles he can't just be named as always just one. And I have seen that dancing through life clips so many times and I have never noticed the earings! So looking for that now!
