Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 saw this on facebook exactly the same time I saw this thread, haha. That's quite cool
Izzard Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Does that mean the musical will be coming to Toronto!?
Laura! Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 This is exciting! I'm so glad to see it touring!
Katarina. Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Oh, how I wish I was in my early 20's and lived in the US.. Great to hear it's touring! I'm still hoping it will tour outside of America as well.. soon.
vla313 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 An open call means an open CASTING call. These aren't tour stops, but rather the chance to audition to be in the national tour without being a part of Actor's Equity.
plaid ducky Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Here's Playbill.com write-up: The producers of Broadway's American Idiot confirmed the expected on Feb. 23: The rock musical based on Green Day's Grammy Award-winning album will be launched on a national tour this fall. They're looking for newcomers to star. The tour's start date and city were not announced. An open casting call for all roles will be held in Los Angeles March 5, Toronto March 26, Boston April 9 and Chicago April 23 this spring. Locations and times for the open-call auditions in Toronto, Boston and Chicago will be announced soon at http://www.facebook.com/americanidiotbroadway. The open-call auditions seek "male and female rock singers in their early to late 20s. All hopefuls should bring a recent picture, resume and prepare a short rock song. A piano accompanist will be provided. Men who play the guitar should bring one and accompany themselves." American Idiot's cast album recently won the Grammy Award for Best Show Album. The musical was nominated for a 2010 Tony Award as Best Musical. Directed by Michael Mayer, who co-wrote the libretto with Green Day front man and lyricist Billie Joe Armstrong, American Idiot (with music by Green Day) takes all of the songs from the famous punk album (and more from Green Day's catalog) and fashions a story of three lifelong friends who choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. "Their quest for meaning in a post 9-11 world leads them on an exhilarating journey," according to producers. American Idiot continues at Broadway's St. James Theatre.

Fanny. Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 When I read it at first I freaked out because they mentioned Toronto and I thought they were like tour dates or something.. But it wouldn't have made sense cos they don't even have the cast yet for the tour XD But this is great
Jacob. Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Too bad the musical is losing it's good preformers.
-Billiejoezee- Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Los angeles. March 5. Los angeles. Oh god. How I wish I was older.
luvgirlcl Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I saw this on twitter today, and said 'damn, if only I lived in the States (or Toronto)' Anyways, I think it's great that there'll be a tour of AI, so everyone who couldn't go to New York now will have a chance of seeing it
Broken_Tune Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Toronto will be on my birthday or Christmas list depending on what time of year the tour comes to Canada. if only it would come to Winterpeg.........
plaid ducky Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 In case you are wondering, the minimum age is 18 not 20.
Slappy. Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Wow, if only I were 1 year older and lived in the US
Whatsername1911 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Sooooo I can't sing. But if they need people to play like, pedestrians or something, I'd do it
