I know we have quite a few Broadway fans on the board, and some sad news has come about: Teresa Butz, sister of Norbert Leo Butz (_Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Wicked, The Last 5 Years_), was murdered in what appears to be a gay-bashing incident.

She sounded like a pretty cool lady, and I hope they’re able to bring the killer to justice. ☹

That’s awful. I didn’t know her (obviously), but I really enjoyed Norbert in Wicked and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels…I feel bad for him. I also hope they’re able to find the people responsible.
