JHyena86 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hey you never know if American Idiot turns out to be a huge success you just may see 21st Century Breakdown turned in to a show tooI was thinking that too. I would love to see them both as shows. For some reason I can almost see the two stories overlapping in a movie form...And thanks for posting the sirius interviews MassHysteria! Quote
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hey you never know if American Idiot turns out to be a huge success you just may see 21st Century Breakdown turned in to a show tooHow would they work that into the story?I would think something like Murder City would fit better (with Christian's name swapped out). Johnny talks about starting a war, a riot, and all those rebellious things. So that song would fitAlso because of the part of the story related to drugs, I think Restless Heart Syndrome could fit in too! Quote
Segan Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Hey you never know if American Idiot turns out to be a huge success you just may see 21st Century Breakdown turned in to a show tooyeah but they already took two of the best songs on it and put them in AI Quote

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks everyone for posting reviews and especially videos, it's nice to see and hear them talking about it and even seeing small parts of the musical Quote
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 yeah that could totally work, or write something that revolves around Christian and Gloria characters in an entirely new production if thats a possibilityI doubt they'd start from scratch and do a totally new onehttp://www.greenday.com/article.php?id=676 Quote
Guest Shangri-La Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 nooooooooooohhh!!! It's one of my favorite parts!i didn't see the problem with Extraordinary Girl either! It seems like everyone is totally hating it but I thought it fit pretty well. The only thing I really had a problem with is the dancing... Quote
norcalgreendayfan Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I doubt they'd start from scratch and do a totally new onehttp://www.greenday.com/article.php?id=676yeah that would take a lot of work to do it from scratch and do a whole new musical Quote
packers182 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 nooooooooooohhh!!! It's one of my favorite parts!I agree it was one of my favorite parts too Quote
MassHysteria Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 The only thing I really had a problem with is the dancing...I agree, some of it was not my favorite. I see it again Saturday, so I'm hoping its improved. Quote

Guest Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 “Today was the 27th anniversary of the death of Billie Joe’s dad,” Ollie confided between motherly exclamations of pride. “We visited his gravestone today.”“There are lines in the songs that specifically refer to our hometown or to our dad,” Anna elaborated, alluding in part to “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” Armstrong’s confrontation of the trauma inflicted by their father’s death when he and Anna were 10 and 14. “The show is particularly meaningful for us because we know where it comes from.”aww Quote
Dookie93 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Don't know if these were posted already, but here are some press photos from the show. Quote

pattifan Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 San Francisco Chronicle. Generally likes it even though he acknowledges flaws:Review by Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle Quote
GDM Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 San Francisco Chronicle. Generally likes it even though he acknowledges flaws:Review by Robert Hurwitt, SF ChronicleThat's a nice one. Enthusiastic and critically constructive. Hahaha - I didn't know what this link was when I first clicked on it, but I had just left a comment on it!I liked what the artistic director said, that Green Day's music is full of "fury and love." I had to comment on that! Quote
J'net Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 I liked what the artistic director said, that Green Day's music is full of "fury and love." I had to comment on that!Yeah, I liked that "rage fury and love" comment, too. Quote
American Basket Case Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Not a review, but an article from the New York Times:Green Day Reaches a New Stage Quote
Guest Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Thought I'd whack this in here to keep everything together: Quote
TaylorKlinke Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 wow I want to see this soo bad!! Quote
Anja Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I found this article today. Sry if it has been posted.http://www.mercurynews.com/columns/ci_1335...?nclick_check=1 Quote
Tripe Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 This video is actually posted as part of a link above off the Berkelep rep blog, but it's such a nice little speech, I thought it was worth highlighting again. Tony Taccone - the Berkeley Rep's Artistic Director - says a lot of the things I think we all feel about Green Day's music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzHqWsknDFQ...player_embeddedhttp://networkedblogs.com/p12037262what's up with the haircuts?Apparently it was part of the after-party? Looks like they had a barber chair all set up and everything. And at some point, Billie joe stepped in and took over the shears to "hawk" a couple of fans. Quote
MassHysteria Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 A video about the premierhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgH4t2kxads Quote
Hermione Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Wow thanks for all these articles and pictures and videos, great stuff. It sounds good to me and I'm thrilled for the boys that it seems to be doing well Quote
