vla313 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 To be honest, I was expecting very few, if any, videos. I kinda feel bad for the cast, they are on stage giving their everything to put on this amazing musical, and all people are doing is recording. I thought theaters had a strict no camera policy. They do, but I was talking to one of the ushers on Saturday, and he said the producers told them not to go after people taking pics, if it was without flash, b/c it was an "event". They were still supposed to go after people filming, but well, it can be hard to figure out if people are just taking pics or actually filming, so stuff got through fairly easily, especially from the upper levels, since they could hold cameras down and be less obvious. Also, about half of the ushers leave after seating, so they had less staff to watch all the angles, a lot of the pics/vids I saw being taken were from the extreme sides where you couldn't see them if you were standing towards the center, which is usually where ushers hang out. Still, even the people that were taking pics was kinda annoying to the people behind them; I kept getting distracted by the random lights I could see out of the corner of my eye in the darkened theater.

I'm very happy that people filmed it cause if they hadn't I couldn't see Billie in the musical
Katarina. Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 i gave billie a single rose after good riddance, he gave me the handwritten lyrics to the new song he wrote. i'm pretty much still speechless, it means so much to me that he gave me something so special, and the look on his face as he was handing it to me was just so sweet. That's so sweet. I'm really happy for you!
SOMERTEN Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Billie's prsence seems to have given the musical a real boost. I know people have commented about the American Idiot cast appearing with Green Day at certain events as if they are forced on the band but I have always felt that Billie is the one who can't tear himself away from the musical and this proves it. I knew he would appear in it at some point. I also love the combined performances. I haven't had a chance to see the musical either and a dvd would be great. I'm sure it will come to the UK at some point. Hope Billie appears again at a later date. Does anyone know the order of the songs in the musical?

I think this order of the songs is right: American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia Holiday Boulevard of Broken Dreams Favorite Son Are We the Waiting St. Jimmy Give me Novacaine Last of the American Girls/She's a Rebel Last Night on Earth Too Much Too Soon Before the Lobotomy Extraordinary Girl Before the Lobotomy (reprise) When It's Time Know Your Enemy 21 Guns Letterbomb Wake Me Up When September Ends Homecoming Whatsername (and Good Riddance after the show, at curtain call)
Tubbie Head Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 i think they should record their final show in january and put it out as a dvd. even include some backstage footage and extras. they would help bring the show to those that can't make it out to nyc to see it and still make a profit after the show ends... i think it's only fair, being one of the unfortunate ones that can't make it to nyc I totally agree. But I think that will (IF) only happen when the musical isn't showing on the theatres.
dawn71 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I am so sorry everyone I know I promised a tell all when I got home. Today has been a mess. I had to cut my trip short due to poor health. My Right leg swelled up so bad almost couldn't get shoe on. My back feels like it was hit by a truck. I barely ate while in NYC because my stomach was in knots. Got very little sleep in 4 days. When I woke up this morning my voice was almost gone I don't know why because I wasn't screaming or anything. Then to top it all off when I arrived at the airport at home they have misplaced my luggage which has my camera with all the pics of me and Billie Joe. Plus the drum sticks that were given to me and signed by drummer, the cast and Billie Joe is all in my luggage. I had to put everything in my luggage because I can't wheel myself in the wheelchair and carry all of that. Also I was worried I'd drop everything if I tried. Anyway the airline swears its in Houston and will be flying in on morning flight. Then I had to rush and get Billie's name tatted like I promised him before it faded and my tattoo artist had to keep his shop open waiting on me. But I got it tatted but can't load pics yet because my damn email isn't working on my phone and it wont picture text. I had to use my phone due to the fact that my camera is in my luggage in Houston. I will do my best to get it fixed today and get it up here for you all to see. Right now I have got to try and rest before my leg swells more and cuts off circulation and I loose my leg sooner than I am. Even though today was such chaos I was still happy underneath it all because of how amazing it was meeting Billie Joe and to be able to be face to face with him and say thank you. I will get it all up here for you soon, please bare with me, I'm kind of a mess health wise. Hopefully I'll feel better after a good long nap. So thank you everyone for all your kind words and support. I so love my GDC family So I am going to get some rest before I wind up in the hospital. But no matter what it was all worth it!
Moffie Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 It's okay. We care more about you resting than recapping! Your luggage will come through or shit's going to go down.

Tubbie Head Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Aww Dawn, there's no need to apologize!! You really gotta take a rest, don't worry about coming on here. I hope you get your luggage and feel better soon.
MCC Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Like others have said, focus on getting some rest Dawn. I hope your luggage arrives ASAP. Leave it to the airport to screw things up...None of us want you to end up in the hospital so just enjoy some time to rest and relax. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Laura! Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Your health is much more important. Just focus on getting better. Hope you feel better soon, Dawn!

TAG Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 We all love you Dawn! Get some rest. Don't worry about recapping yet, you've had a long few days! Exciting days at that matter! The bag will return to you.

Robin105 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Did anyone get a video of Billie saying Oh Baby Baby It's Fuck Time? I thought I saw one but I can't find it.
Katarina. Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Have you already seen this video? I love it!!! I love that video, it made me tear up. Last Night on Earth Woohoo. Click on that link for the MP4 download I made of it, if anyone is interested!

jetsrule128 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 i kind of feel bad for the actors it's back to reality for them tonight
Guest Shangri-La Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I left NYC the first night BJA played St Jimmy.. I'm soo sad!
GDM Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I left NYC the first night BJA played St Jimmy.. I'm soo sad! That's a bummer, Zoe. I so wish they had announced it a few days earlier to give people a chance to stay/come. They just love those last-second announcements about stuff. Sadly.
LetItBeHappy Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 oh my god, dawn, I'm so happy for you I wanted to give you a +1, but I, apparently, spent all the reps I can give today anyways, TAKE A NAP, you deserve it! And we'll keep our fingers crossed on your luggage, so it arrives soon! I have the same thing! The wake up part.. the City of the Damned part at the end of Boulevard of Broken Dreams, the bang bang part in Holiday, and so on.. and just the music in general. When I listen to the American Idiot record now, I notice things about the music I didn't notice before. I love it. It made me fall in love with the album for the Idon'tknowhowmany time I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DID THE BANG BANG THING! and omg, I'm proud of Billie, and I'm glad that I got the chance to read all of your reviews, watch all the videos and see all the photos. Maybe we'll get a bootleg or a professional recording someday, but if we don't, being able to read it through here is enough. I love you guys /emotional moment
