Official retailer for the Orpheum Theater & Holland Center
In this special evening of story and song, Mr. Butz sings highlights from his storied three decades on the boards of Broadway. From his humble beginning as the 7th of 11 children (his first bed was a drawer!) to being one of only nine actors to win a Tony Award® twice for Best Actor in a Broadway musical. Norbert originated the roles in Jason Robert Browns’ The Last Five Years, Stephen Schwartz’s cultural behemoth Wicked, Andrew Lippa’s Big Fish, Harry Connick Jr’s Thou Shalt Not (Tony nomination), the Lincoln Center 2018 revival of My Fair Lady (Tony nomination) and his two Tony Award-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 of his original compositions from his four solo records and some surprising covers from Tom Waits, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. Mr. Butz television and film credits include Netflix’s "Bloodline," "Fosse/Verdon," "Justified: City Primeval," and the soon to be released new series on FX from Ryan Murphy Gladiator: "American Sports Story," as well as the recent "Exorcist" sequel by David Gordon Green. Expect the unexpected in this singular evening of musical entertainment, by one of Broadway’s legendary leading men.
With special guest Pat Hazell
Pat Hazell is one of the original writers for NBC’s "Seinfeld," a "Tonight Show" veteran and a critically acclaimed playwright. Showtime declared Pat one of the five funniest people in America. His 30 years of experience as a writer, performer and producer have made him a go-to guy for genuinely funny Americana humor. Hazell’s one man show, The Wonder Bread Years, a comic salute to the baby-boomer generation aired on PBS, where they referred to him as "America's Foremost Pop Culture Anthropologist.” As the Chief Creative Officer of Sweetwood Productions, he is responsible for creating and producing the national tours of the original productions: Bunk Bed Brothers, The Wonder Bread Years, Grounded For Life and A Kodachrome Christmas. Pat is currently touring in his new one man show Pat Hazell’s Permanent Record and just released a comedy album called Pat & Mic Live.
