Over a year later, and I keep returning. I never really paid much attention to this song even though I grew up with JCS and Godspell in Catholic high school. I love the harder rock arrangement and the way Mr. Butz starts softly, builds, peaks, and comes back down. What an outstanding and versatile voice, and strong stage presence. Beautiful work.
Yes!! That series brought me here also - he has a special charisma that shines through on the show. Even though most moments are very dark sometimes he is so funny and endearing - and so believable! What a treat to find this video 🎉
Norbert is an absolute story teller and always sings with everything he has. He’s amazing! He totally changed up this song and it still has that same sadness and emotion. The rock n roll of it might actually make it more emotional in my opinion.
I saw you in Rent on Broadway and later I saw you in Wicked in SF. You signed my Wicked program for me and you were so nice. Sending you love & hugs. Please keep singing & performing.
Does anyone else have that thing where you prefer one person's singing voice above all others? Because this is it for me, I love it so much I immediately donated $20- a low amount considering how often I'm going to replay this
Sir -you could sing a phone book and I would listen. One of the most talented humans of our time. And so very kind. I met you about 20 years ago and won’t ever forget it!
I'm a huge theater nerd but I've never liked jesus christ superstar (blasphemy I know lol) but this arrangement is amazing?!? It did the unthinkable, actually make me like a song from that stinkin musical 😂😂 well done
This arrangement has major Roger from RENT vibes and I’m here for it.
*puts Roger/Mark shipping glasses on*
With the e guitar twangs and sound effects I was waiting for the curses from the RENT show like im in the theater .Great miscast.
Yes!!!
I love this song and have heard many versions. This is by far the best , he nailed it. Amazing performance.
He’s just gotten better and better thru the years.

I'm watching Bloodline this minute and can't believe this drunken alcoholic is this same man. Awesome

Had a crush on Norbert before, now I'm obsessed lol
Just coming back to watch this after Miscast21 because this is one of the all time greatest performances 🔥

This is an absolutely positively amazing performance hands down.

The show is just one act and as fantastic as the music is the staging is not particularly interesting usually.
So much for living the unexamined life, lol.
Helen Reddy covered this song. She just passed. Rest In Peace.
3:26 was that an engine rev??? This arrangement is so sexy
I’ve been trying to understand the concept of key change, does one happen at 2:35?
It does, and in this instance you need to think of the original context of the song within the musical.
Who are you?I like your voice and this song
This is 2-time Tony Award-winning Norbert Leo Butz. Search his name on youtube and enjoy more. ☮️
From Argentina,I saw in youtube and like your voice
Bloodline too! That’s how I first got to see him
😮👏🥰
wicked movie 公開記念カキコ
This guy can sing his butz off. (apologies)
Who knew?!
Yeah!!!! Just watched Bloodline… should have won best actor …. And… you can sing like this?????
"I Don't How Know"? LOL!
Damn, aside from being thrown off by the pronoun, you ROCKED, dude! VERY well done!!
Hmm
I love the idea of a man singing this, but sliding into pitches certainly is more than annoying.
