Norbert Leo Butz Breaking News, Photos, and Videos

Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale hit the red carpet while attending the opening night performance of The Whirligig on Sunday night (May 21) in New York City.

Zosia Mamet is starring in the new play alongside Noah Bean and Norbert Leo Butz. The play was written by Hamish Linklater, whose longtime love Lily Rabe was by his side at the event.

Other stars who were in attendance at the performance included Zachary Quinto, Chloe Sevigny, Emily Mortimer, and Alessandro Nivola.

Here is the play’s synopsis: “When, after much time away, Kristina is back in Berkshire County, word spreads fast that she and her ex-husband are caring for their estranged, ailing daughter Julie. Broken-hearted and giddy with love and confusion, surprising visitors from Julie’s complicated past practically trip over each other to reach the young woman they thought they’d lost years before.”

If you have ever wanted to see the gender roles in the musical Dreamgirls flipped, you are in luck thanks to MCC Theatre’s Miscast Gala.

The annual gala allows Broadway performers to sing songs for roles they would never be able to play on stage due to age, gender, and/or race restrictions.

Two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz led an epic ensemble to perform the Dreamgirls songs “It’s All Over” and “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” at this year’s event. He played Effie while Brian d’Arcy James played Deena and Brandon Victor Dixon took on Lorrell.

Stephanie J. Block played Effie’s love interest Curtis, Kelli O’Hara took on Effie’s brother C.C., Jordan Fisher played the new Dream Michelle, and Jenn Colella played Jimmy Early.

Jennifer Holliday, who originated the role of Effie on Broadway, was sitting on stage during the performance and Norbert bowed at her feet after he was finished singing!

Paul Rudd is dapper in a suit while posing for photographs at the after party for The MCC Theatre Benefit Reading of Neil LaBute‘s Reasons To Be Pretty Happy held at Ramsacle on Sunday (September 11) in New York City.

The 47-year-old actor was joined by his co-stars Amber Tamblyn, Jennifer Mudge, Norbert Leo Butz and the playwright himself Neil LaBute at the special one-night-only staged benefit reading.

“Set on the night of their 20th anniversary high school reunion, Reasons to be Pretty Happy follows Greg (Rudd) and Steph (Tamblyn) as they revisit their home town after having moved to New York. Kent (Butz) and Carly (Mudge) are suspicious of their reasons for returning and the four friends dance (sometimes literally) through a series of encounters at their school gym as they try to rekindle old friendships, struggle with their futures (together and separately) and reveal secrets to one another that might have been better left buried beneath a pile of yearbooks.”
