dria021772 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Well said. The truth is that of the entire batch of musicals that opened last April, the only one that's still going is.....American Idiot. If that's not enough to piss off the haters I don't know what is. It'll close when it closes. In the meantime, I'll say this: any respectable Green Day fan needs to go see this musical if they have a reasonable/realistic opportunity to do so that won't bust the budget. It will change the way you look at the albums that it's been built on. Bravo...I agree and well said!!!! I am trying to get to NYC in April. I can't wait to see it again if I am so lucky and I am making my 60 something parents meet me there to see it! Can't wait Quote
Velocity Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm seeing the musical on April 9th as part of a school trip Really, really hoping for the small chance that it might be extended again. Quote
Jaymee!! Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Do you guys think that ANYONE from the cast or swing will tour with the show? I don't want to be without Alysha or Gerard Quote
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm seeing the musical on April 9th as part of a school trip Really, really hoping for the small chance that it might be extended again. Damn, I want school trips like that! Quote
Tripe Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Do you guys think that ANYONE from the cast or swing will tour with the show? I don't want to be without Alysha or Gerard I guess it's possible...but I don't think it happens too often. I plan on seeing the touring version when it comes close to me and wow will it be weird to have every character played by someone other than who I am used to. Ah, well, change is good, right? Quote
Velocity Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Damn, I want school trips like that! If I could, I'd take all the GDC'ers who haven't seen it yet and keep them as stowaways in my bag Quote
Katarina. Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 If I could, I'd take all the GDC'ers who haven't seen it yet and keep them as stowaways in my bag Sounds like a plan. I wish I could just buy plane tickets and AI musical tickets right now and just go. Oh well. Great there will be a national tour! An international one would be even more great.. Quote
luvgirlcl Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Out of curiosity: how long do tours run for, approximately? Quote
captain peroxide Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 They don't combine touring and Broadway sales, so touring would actually decrease the number of people who would go to New York to see it. No, I know. I'm just talking about the overall amount of people who will go to see the show. Quote
lizziebix Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I see a lot of touring shows after having seen them on Broadway. And yes it is different, but usually the actors chosen are still fabulous. Don't know if they'd actually be chosen to play on Broadway, but they are certainly the next best thing. Whomever plays whatever roles in AI, I'm sure will be outstanding and I'm looking forward to seeing it over and over again (hopefully both in Chicago and Milwaukee). Quote
TheSaltOfTheEarth Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 So when it tours, is it going to be an all different cast for sure, or is it possible that some of the original cast members will be on the tour? It won't make a big difference for me if I see it because I've never seen it before, but just wondering. Quote
Peace and Rainbows Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 American Idiot Suffers After Armstrong Exit http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/american-idiot-suffers-after-armstrong-exit_1206054 It's sad, but kinda inevitable, Though, I think maybe the show has lost appeal due to the fact that Johnny and Esper had left to I don't know I feel bad for the show i really do Quote
Jaymee!! Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I think the show probably took a bigger hit than 'normal' because Johnny and Michael left at the same time. If they had staggered their departures, I think the show would be doing 'better'...not that it's bad right now, at all. Quote
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Do they have the original costs/investments out yet? ('scuse the awkward phrasing) Quote
Ellenkc Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Do they have the original costs/investments out yet? ('scuse the awkward phrasing) I remember hearing they were down about 9 million (dunno how credible that is) before Billie's run this year, so if that was right I don't think they would've yet. Quote
Khaleesi. Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 is there any word on who's gonna be replacing davey when he's done? Quote
plaid ducky Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Apparently, the role has been cast... Announcement should come out soon. #chaseshrug Quote
plaid ducky Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Speaking of Chase, he'll be on for Johnny until Saturday; Van's apparently hurt. Chase could be on for less or more but that's the word right now. Quote
Jaymee!! Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 During the second night of St. Jimmy, I had a chat with the lotto girl and she said that there was talk/they were interested in getting Pink to come in and take over the role for a bit, but she didn't know the status of that being in effect or not.

jetsrule128 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Speaking of Chase, he'll be on for Johnny until Saturday; Van's apparently hurt. Chase could be on for less or more but that's the word right now. wow one week in and Van is hurt...that's bad luck i don't think JGJ Ever got hurt in his run Quote

OMFG YES PLEASE. Quote
ScreamsInSilence815 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 wow one week in and Van is hurt...that's bad luck i don't think JGJ Ever got hurt in his run well, Johnny was hurt a few times (i.e. punching himself in the face? ) but it wasn't serious enough to get him out of the show... Quote
plaid ducky Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Johnny knocked himself around a lot. He did get a neck thing in Berkeley. Quote
Sylvester Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Wonderful! It's about time they come to Ca... Quote
