'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' reviews

[thespian geek]

I just saw this on Broadway.com - it's from the "Stage Notes" section of the website. Some guy went and saw a few shows in California over a 4-day period. DRS was his first stop. I posted the full bit on DRS over at http://www.livejournal.com/users/drs_the_musical - I'm posting here what the guy had to say about Norbert.

Even if Scoundrels has the plottings of a more traditional musical comedy outing than Monty, Yazbek never takes the obvious path and displays a deliciously sick sense of humor with his lyrics. The breakout hit of the show on first listening is "Great Big Stuff," which has Norbert Leo Butz's character of Freddy dreaming of a life with things like "A house in the Bahamas / Paisley silk pajamas / Poker with Al Roker and our friend Lorenzo Lamas." But there are countless great tunes and infinite clever rhymes (another favorite involves getting "hummers in my Hummer").

and..

You can also expect a flurry of acting nominations for the unbeatable cast of this crowd-pleasing show. The box office draw will be John Lithgow, who proves to be a big asset with his solid and charming work as old-time schemer Lawrence, but the biggest revelation comes in the form of Butz, who manages to take on the Steve Martin film role with nimble comedic flair previously unexplored on the New York musical stage.

If you can't tell, that bolded parts are my favorite.

Norbert = the best! But then again, I guess everyone here already knew that.
