acrossthesea Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi everyone I'm wondering if there is a way for people to hear or buy the songs, especially if they can't make it to the show? Maybe they will put out a soundtrack at some point thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi everyone I'm wondering if there is a way for people to hear or buy the songs, especially if they can't make it to the show? Maybe they will put out a soundtrack at some point thanks Hi! Good news, they've actually put recordings/videos of three of the songs on youtube. You can check them out in these threads: Follow You Around Baby Blue Last Time Hopefully there'll be more. And no idea if it's likely there will be a soundtrack or not but it'd be cool.

desertrose Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Connecticut's Best 10 Theater Productions For 2014 So here's my list of the Top 10 shows of 2014, in order of preference: "These Paper Bullets" at Yale Repertory Theatre, New Haven. Rolin Jones' witty, puckish mash-up of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," was set in London in the 1960s and centered on a wildly popular rock band (think Beatles). It may sound like an audacious idea and, well, it was. But it somehow, improbably, delightfully worked in what was the most playful, exuberant show of the season. Jackson Gay's giddy direction, Green Day rocker Billie Joe Armstrong's terrific musical homage (new songs written for the show — and where do I get the record?), and the ever-buoyant cast of mods and rockers resulted in a show brimming with sass, heart and joy. (This production took a top spot by the Connecticut Critics Circle at June's awards ceremony.) http://www.ctnow.com/entertainment/hc-top-ten-theater-1228-20141228,0,1377286.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Benjamin Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I don't know if it's been discussed, but Dreamcatcher is in it, so Baby Blue is probably the same trilogy outtake. Credit: DJ Rosstar at the performance last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dreamcatcher is in it? Cool! I want a recording now - I'm curious about it. Seemed like a pretty good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dreamcatcher is in it? Cool! I want a recording now - I'm curious about it. Seemed like a pretty good song. This is one of my favorites that we heard before the trilogy. But I want to hear a BJA version Then again, Amy was also my favorite and then I heard the butchery effect that happened on the album, so maybe it's best left unrecorded and in my dreams.

Chin for a Day Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Just me that thought Dreamcatcher was an insufferably bland and uninteresting song then?...I don't think it is that bad, but it OK at best. However, it does have an early Beatles vide to it so I can see it fitting into this show very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Rolin Jones bring ‘These Paper Bullets!’ to the GeffenPlaywright Rolin Jones flew up to Oakland to meet with Billie Joe Armstrong about collaborating on a project together and as Jones was laying out the idea for a new play with music, fans kept interrupting, asking the Green Day frontman for an autograph. All the while, during the pitch, Jones says the rocker was mostly listening in silence.“When I finished, he basically just stared at me,” Jones recalls, “and said, ‘Let me get this straight. You’re going to rewrite Shakespeare, and I’m going to rewrite The Beatles.’”A major part of the puzzle was where do you get Beatle-style songs?Enter Armstrong.A short while later, a song popped up on Jones’ computer, a tune Armstrong create in his own studio, doing all the vocals, drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitars himself. http://www.dailynews.com/arts-and-entertainment/20150911/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-rolin-jones-bring-these-paper-bullets-to-the-geffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
