My Fair Lady Archives – DNR Studios

Two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz has appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady, Catch Me If You Can, Wicked, Rent, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Big Fish, Dead Accounts, Enron, Is He Dead, and Speed the Plow. The Last Five Years off-Broadway provided an equally pivotal role.

In addition to his legendary career on the stage, Norbert Leo Butz is a wildly talented songwriter, and his album “The Long Haul” is the first full-length album he has written entirely by himself.

“The Long Haul” is a country/ blues record that has a deep, beautiful sadness running through it along with a sense of perseverance and a heart determined to keep on loving.

It would be easy to believe this record was written by a long-haul trucker with a million miles behind him and thousands more to go — which is why “The Long Haul” is the perfect name for this heartbreaking, hardy collection of songs.

Fresh off of the Broadway productions of My Fair Lady — where he played Freddy Einsford Hill and Hello Dolly, where he understudied — and often went on for — the Tony Award winning role of Cornelius Hackel, Christian Dante White is here! The two of us originally met over social media — the first tweet we were both mentioned in goes back to 2010! — and only just FINALLY met in person LAST WEEK by total happen stance! So I HAD to invite to him instudio. He has a concert coming up at the Greenroom 42 on October 14, so we will be talking about THAT, and so much more — including the fact that I have it on good authority that he channels Beyonce in a very specific way when he needs extra confidence.
