Bottom line is that re-casting happens, and the reasons don't really matter, though it does suck for the actor, particularly if they didn't want to be recast in the first place!

I feel bad for him, but that is the life of an actor. Sadly.

I don't mean to make it sound mysterious. My idea about it is pretty mundane really, and I don't really KNOW what happened. That's the main reason I'm not repeating it. There's no need to start yet ANOTHER rumor about it .

I totally understand not wanting to start a rumor and that recasting is an actor's life, I was just saying it sounded more mysterious than the probable facts. That's all. Didn't mean to sound like I was asking for more info. I wasn't. Sorry if I was misunderstood. Not my intent.

If I many weigh in, I also talked to him on FB last night, and he described it to me that it was for cast someone else that was more "All-American", which seems to have a different meaning than just "American". I told him I thought that was highly ironic since the show seemed to speak out against the traditional "All-American" views, and he said I summed it up perfectly, and noted "Broadway us not exactly punk." He did not seem at all bitter though. He told me he's working on getting a band together, I do hope that by some chance they might do a performance while I'm out there.

No, I didn't think you were asking for more information at all. I just thought I'd explain myself a bit further .

Ok. Didn't want to be misunderstand or have it thought I was being nasty about the situation.

I think you summed up my feelings about B'way with your post, Justin. Broadway can be like that. That's why I get annoyed with it. And that's why, though I love AI, I get a little annoyed with it, too.

Anyway... the Daily News reporter asked us about the meetup on 4/19. She is interested in learning how many people are coming, approximately, and from here? I don't think anyone from out of the country will be here, will there? But like at least 40 from the US?

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Aw, I love that new video.

I count about 20 people for the 19th, I think.

[Hanner]

[Robin105]

I can't wait for the 19th either. Since it's the day before opening night do you think the band will be there too?

yes

[Robin105]

ha ha your probably thinking "stop asking that already." I'm just over excited and if they are there and I see them I'll freak out. I want to meet them so bad. When the time gets closer we'll have to arrange a time and place to meet. I requested both Monday and Tuesday off in case some of us are just going to have a day in the city Tuesday.

[incendiary girl]

Thanks! I let her know!

Thanks for getting back to her, Tanya. I've been slacking on my emails today.

From the AI Twitter account:

"We are kicking off our Twitter today from a Rolling Stone photoshoot w/ the cast and Green Day! cast members Tony Vincent, Leslie McDonel & Libby Winters will be tweeting updates throughout the day from the shoot. American Idiot intern, Amanda, will be on set and sending some updates as well. Get following!!"

Now if they would just add links for each of them, I'm not following all of them yet. And that would be just about the most amazing internship EVER!

What's the link to the AI twitter?

And to clarify, it seems that they'll all be tweeting from that one account.

I'm beginning to regret getting my tickets for April 23rd.

They still had tickets for the March shows when I bought them, yet I opted for after 'opening night.'

Now I'm insanely impatient, and regretting my brilliant idea to wait until after the show opens.

Do you know if HotTix ever sells preview show seats?

In all honesty, I don't even know what HotTix is. I got my tickets through the American Idiot on Broadway site, and ended up using Telecharge to buy them.

So I don't know, I'm sorry.

Indeed, it would. The other intern, Jamie, I believe, was their intern when they were in Berkeley so they might just be bringing along the same people to the Broadway's team.

However, they are probably selling them at the same prices as Telecharge, so might as well go through there?

Hmm... though I didn't know if one bought in bulk from HotTix that the price goes down. Good to know in the future!

Bulk HotTix purchases? Shoot. Too bad we didn't know this in advance. (I would have changed my NYC trip plans to be a part of a bulk ticket purchase!)
