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.
