Personally, I like Norbert but I haven't heard Derrick yet.
riffing.love
Saw them all, LOVE Norbs.
He's just God.

Derrick! Word.
madelinehitz
I personally voted for David! Not because of his voice, but because to me he has the look and the attitude haha. I'd say Joey is a close second though!
ForGood
Norbert, by a landslide.

im complicated when it comes to Fiyero's!lol! I have seen all of them live except Norbert. I think norbert did a wonderful job singing and acting but personally feel he was too old to play the part. I like David Ayers looks for the part, Derrick Williams singing, and Joey's acting. But overall the best one i've seen live would have to be Joey.

Out of these: Norbs, with Derrick a close second.

Where is Kris!?

David!!

JOEY MAC!!!!! i've loved him since NKOTB and i love him still

he will always be my favorite fiyero!!!
mc751n
joey was the first fiyero I saw, I was disappointed because in ALAYM he totally screwed up the modulation when it went from her singing to him singing, he couldnt find his note for at least a line. and they loweredx the key for him, which means he didnt have to go as high as all the other fiyeros (i know because i have perfect pitch and it urched me!)

instead of complaining about everyone Im just going to say I think norbert was the only person that could portray fiyero well enough lol, I havent seen derrick though and Im looking foward to!

joeman77ad
OMG Norbert with flying colors.....I didnt really like David's voice , Joey was good but not quite Norbert...and Derrick is good but also not close to Norbert!!

So if you havent guessed...my answer is NORBERT! :drool:
Wickedly_Defying84
Norbert :heart:
defy*everything
i have seen them all and i personally think Joey is my fave! i don't know why but the night i saw him he was ON! and it was like woah now that IS Fiyero!
Personally, I don't think Joey has the voice for the part at all.

Oops, I forgot Kris -slaps head-
MissGalinda
Norbert! but David was really good too, he just doesn't have as strong a voice.
FutureElphaba
I <3 Norbie, but I chose Derrick bc I saw him once and now I'm seeing him again on Broadway, besides he's really good!!
preciousgreen
I've seen them all but Derrick (seeing him in March) and of all them I loved Joey!!! Norbert was too old i thought but don't get me wrong he was amazing!! But my vote went to Joey. Popularhobag82 I agree with everything you said. :rock:
MPRTamyra
I saw Derrick and actually really disliked him. Maybe he was having an off night but I've heard audios of him elsewhere and I still can't stand him. Am I alone in this?

Norbert Leo Butz!!!!

He is very nice looking, he is a sweetie, he has a great comedic timing, he's hilarious during DTL. And, he has the nicest voice, like ever! (well, besides Patrick Wilson) :rock:

I saw David 2 times and his understudy Oliver something once. Personally I think David is HOTTTT and can act and dance- but, I do not care for his singing.
cinderella
I've only ever seen David live, and he's hot and played the role fantastically, but the singing just wasn't there. And in a role like this, you need an amazing voice!

Patrick Wilson -swoons over voice-

Too bad I hate Raoul though. I'm seeing him in Barefoot in the Park.

I agree 100% with everything you said about Norbert

Yeah, I saw a video with him. He was amazing with the acting but his singing took awhile to grow on me.

I think vocally, Norbert is the strongest. The notes were just "there" for him, very natural. David however, I feel had the look and the personality of a Fiyero. So I like both of them because they both bring different qualities with them to the show.

My name says it all DAVID :mrgreen: :bow: :drool: :humpy: :drunk:
WickedElphie28
Awww I love David...I think he's the best Fiyero. He's definitely got the right look and everything to him. :bow: Although I have only seen him, but I've heard recordings of everyone else...I just love his take on the role.

The first time I saw David I was like, I think I built him up way toooo much. He looked the part and was really good on the acting (although, he's acting was more effective the 2nd and 3rd time I saw him) but his singing just wasn't doing anything for me. But I did see Jared Bortz and compared to him, David’s voice was amazing!

I have to say Joey on this one.It was between him and David though and I had a hard time deciding.
chaser500
I disliked David...was strong enough....and Joey wasn't great either
NYCuTiE2921
I love Norbert..IDINA loves Norbert..his voice just does it for me
Yeroismyhero
WAIT A CLOCK TICK. Where is Kristoffer Cusick?!!?!?!
Rainbowgirl
Definately Norbs. My boyfriend thinks Joey. So I guess I just cancelled myself out.
defyit_17
I think that Norbert has the voice plus he originated it...but...I think that Derrick has a great voice and looks more of the part than what Norbert did. David is pretty cute though.

I voted for Derrick.
WICKEDlover159
I LOVE Derrick, such a hottie :drool:
But, I have to admit, Norbert has a better voice...but, I voted for Derrick!! lol
Wickedbrdway
for me tie between Norby and Derrick, although I do like Joey! <3

I am going to say Derrick cause I saw him live and loved him
Grimmerie
I would have to say Norbert since he was the original, the only other i've heard was Derrick
LemonsMelonsPears
definatly norbs, but david seconds. Joey's singing was... :crazy: ugh...derrick is good, but his approach to the part is different the davids and norbs
Billy
Defentely (sp?) David Ayers

Where's Sebastian and kris!?!
bobert5353
They are just talking about the people who have played on Broadway.


Yes, Kris was an u/s, but this was just the main role people.
