My Take
Norbert Leo Butz is the kind of name theater people say with reverence, and I get why. Winning the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical twice, for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Catch Me If You Can, puts him in a club of only nine performers ever, which is staggering when you think about how much Broadway talent has passed through. What I admire is the range buried in those roles, from comic con man to driven FBI agent. A Webster University guy out of St. Louis, he feels like proof that stage acting still rewards craft over flash, and that quiet consistency can build a genuinely rare legacy.
