Can you share your life with pee for the next ten minutes?
I did miss one performance ofThe Last Five Years, he recounts.
We ran it for about two months.
I live in New Jersey, I was driving in.
Norbert showed up later.
It was just perfect.
Butz credits the shows endurance to the emotional rawness of the writing.
The writing is very close to the bone.
Its very raw, its very emotional and yet the lyrics are extremely smart, he explains.
This show has gone on to have this great life.
Its been like a wine that is just aged better and better and better.
We were together constantly through that process.
The relationship Norbert and I had, and felt for each other, comes through on that recording.
There is some criticism dramaturgically, that the power is weighted toward the male character.
But the interesting thing is I think its a sleight of hand, says Butz.
