Do you remember where you read that, J'net? I was going by John's tweet and all he mentioned was a AI video shoot aka the trailer.

Ben Thompson told me and told me I could share it here. I had asked him if there was ever going to be a video because so many people were agonizing over it in the thread for the song. I posted part of his email there:

Hey J'net!

I'd love to help you out! What I can tell you is that there were two camera crews following us around at Jingle Town when we were recording the song. They were in the booth with all of us when we were recording and filming us when we were just hanging out there. I wish I could tell you when they are going to release but the truth is...i don't know. I do know that they ARE going to release it though. I think they are trying to figure out where or who to release it to/with. Make sense? I don't know anything else about but have been wondering myself when we're going to get to see it. If I hear anything else, i'll let you know.

Ah. Very cool. :) Thanks for that. Maybe they'll release it when they release the cast list...?

BTW, totally did the same thing (clicking the cast link). Such a fool... hahaha. :lol:

So the play is running until at least September?

so what's happening? I've been busy for a while.

preshow tickets are selling...?

Synopsis:

American Express Pre-Sale is going on now. You must have an American Express card to purchase tickets.

General Onsale starts Feb. 14th at midnight.

Ticket price information here: link

Tickets for opening night, April 20th, are not on sale to the public. They may go on sale a week or so before the actual night.

Broadway shows tend to only sell tickets up to a certain date. In AI's case, it's September 5th. This does not mean that the show will close on September 5th nor does it mean it will continue until September 5th. Depending on how the show does that determines on how long it will continue. It is currently considered an open-ended show, not a limited engagement.

The cast has not been officially announced. But unofficially, all the main cast (Gallagher, Caplan, Jones, Esper, Vincent, Faber, and Sajous) are said to be staying on board.

You can see a trailer on the official site: http://www.americanidiotonbroadway.com/index.php

The trailer is awesome. I like the costuming. And the song sounds really good.

Did some one mention a music video? are they making a full music video of a song or something?

Vince has the bad habit of posting rumors before he has much evidence, so don't get your hopes too high... but he's the second person I've heard talk about this rumor.

Is this the same Vince who pretty much just took over the Official AI Facebook page? Heh... you might want to tell him to settle down a little. I mean, he posted this: "follow this link to visit the all new show web site just launched today http://www.americanidiotonbroadway.com/ " :blink: It's the official Facebook page! :pinch::lol:

Vince is a dear friend of mine, and I know him well... and one thing I've learned about Vince is that he posts what he wants to post, regardless of what anyone else things...

That said, he is a great guy, and I wouldn't have seen half the shows I did in Berkeley if it wasn't for him.

I wasn't dissing him or anything. I know that he's probably excited about the production. :happy: I just thought it was funny that he kind-of took over the FB wall.

He has a tendency to do that... And yes, he is VERY energetic

I thought about doing that yesterday, but I think I'll wait till the cast is announced. I'm guessing that will generate more discussion.

Interesting that the Playbill article says Matt Caplan has been replaced by Stark Sands. And confirmation of the Grammys. Whoo who!! :D

Posted
Grrrrr.... *shakes fist* Not at all thrilled about this Matt Caplan deal.... Very very sad news.

I agree, and I'm thinking it must have been kind of last minute. And that makes me wonder if that's why it's taken them so long to announce the cast. However, I hope Stark Sands is awesome (though I must admit, I have a hard time taking his name seriously :lol:).

thanks for the info :)

i hope i can go!

New york isn't that far, it's just no one ever wants to drive me to my friend's house 20 minutes away, let alone an hour to New York, probably more with traffic... I only got to see Green Day this summer because my cousin's son likes them so he took us to philly, my brother-in-law is nice so he took me to DC (but i had to watch his kids in return :P) and my parents like las vegas and they didn't have to "drive" me there.

but no one wants to drive me to new york... i wanted to go to the new york show and they're like NO WE HATE DRIVING TO NEW YORK. and if i lived in any other state but NJ, I could drive myself... but in NJ you have to be 17 to drive, and you can't drive after midnight until you're 18.

kay, that's enough complaining for one day. haha.

Tony Vincent's wife is in the cast, too.

I think someone here a while ago mentioned that Caplan wasn't coming back to the show. It's too bad, he was good in that role, but whatever he's off to, I hope it's grand!

:( That sucks. I know how you feel, beofre I got my license my parents couldn't be bothered to drive me anywhere. Is there a train station nearby? You could always go from NJ to NY Penn Station and take a cab from there to the theater.
