Norbert Leo Butz’s My Life in the Theatre: From Rent to Wicked to Hadestown

Description

Norbert Leo Butz didn’t plan on doing musical theatre when he moved to New York City in 1996 to become an actor. Now three decades later, Butz has two Tony Awards, and has originated roles in some of the most beloved musicals of the 21st century. Above, Butz walks through his Broadway career, where he talks about sleeping on the sidewalk for his Rent audition, breaking his neck in Wicked, and that time Tom Hanks wrote him a letter after seeing Catch Me If You Can on Broadway.
