Have you ever thought it, that Billie Joe is so versatile, he's deals with many things, he's a true renaissance man.?! he plays saxophone.... he plays harmonica....and on this...whats... he plays the piano and drums... he's makeup and tattoo artist... he's photographer and cameraman... he's an excellent hairdresser.... he builds a house as nobody else.. . watching the kids... fix things around the house... so ,any work can be entrusted to him,he need only one surgical glove... ...and yes...well...he often gives illustrative sexual information... Then, of course, in the end he's s so tired. Oh, and by the way, sometimes he sings, plays guitar, writes songs and text,but really only very rarely

A picture of Billie joe's eyes I drew,

Never seen this one before:

I think it's great that BJA's coming back, but all I have to say is, dear god, please, producers, higher him a vocal coach. He was losing his voice at the end of both of performances that I saw during his ONE WEEK stint, so I can only imagine what 50 performances will do to his voice.

Yay for January

awesome pic.. Laly sdjsakd

He's looking like: "Okay okay let me see...I know what I'm doing okay, I am professional"

Well you cant forget this one from mplssong.tumblr.com

I am probably the only one really excited about Spiderman turn off the dark But you will never know, it might turn out to be pretty good. Oh well, at least Kobak and Matt caplan are in the show! I agree. I love julie Taymor and her work. Looking forward to seeing her version of the tempest on the big screen.

And Billie Joe returns

WHY CANT THEY HAVE PERFORMANCES IN THE DAYTIME. My class wants to see it after I did a presentation about it. but there are no shows during school hours. someone give me a bootleg or tell them to freaking release it on DVD, i wouldn't mind paying for it, it's just that we can't go during the day I felt this way when it first came out and people wanted come from all over the world to see it. i'm like jeez, it's just a freaking musical, green day isn't even in it. until i saw it. I like their versions BETTER than Green Day's. and while I'd prefer to see a Green Day show, this comes pretty close. If it were only 10 bucks, I'd be going every weekend. It's just a really good musical. it's beautiful. and funny. i love it. It's just like how people watch reruns of TV shows... like why buy them on DVD, right? You've already seen them on TV. People just like watching things that they like. My mom watched The Wizard of Oz like every week when she was a kid. Some people just like watching things until they can recite it perfectly, and even then they want to watch it some more.

Before I answer you question, here's mine: are you asking "how people have seen it so many times" or "why people have seen it so many times"? The former is asking about the means of going to the musical and the latter is asking about the reasons of going to the musical. Depending on which question you're asking, you're going to come up with a different answer. If the question is "how," then this is the answer: people live in NY or close to it. They can travel and get to the theatre easily. They normally will try lotto and if they win, that's $27. If they lose and still want to see the show, they can get partial views for $37. If they're a student (or someone who still has a student ID), they can get rush tickets for $27. If they accumulated enough Idiot Nation points, they can reserved lottery seat tickets and pay $27. If they are able to find discount codes for tickets or to buy tickts at the TKTS booth, they can pay between $27 to $85, depending on the offer. There are tons of ways to buy tickets to the show without having to pay full price. Hell, the show itself gave free tickets last week. If you enjoy the show that much, then you know the different ways to be able to see it without losing an arm and a leg. I have seen the show about 25 times. I've only paid full price for a ticket twice - once for the first week of previews and once for opening night. All the other times have been discount codes, partial views, or lottery/rush. I know of people who have seen the show 30, 40, 50+ times. They aren't rich; they're just really good at lottery and/or getting partial views. Now, if the question is "why," then my answer only speaks for me. I go see the show numerous times because it's never the same show. During previews, when the full original Broadway cast was still there, they were still tweaking the songs and the blocking. One show would have this one version and two shows later would be another version. After opening, so many understudies and swings have gone on that they add another something to the show. Look at this past week. Understudy craziness. How many people that I know rushed to the theatre after hearing Christina was on for Whatsername or Declan was on for Will? A lot. Which goes with another reason of "why." The cast. The cast is amazing and they put their heart and body into the show every time. Even when they're not feeling too well. Plus, they're really sweet and friendly... and a bit zany, actually. Lots of quirks. No one is really straight-laced, even ones like Stark or Tony. I like supporting all of them and cheering them on, even after they leave the show. Also, because so much it going on at once, you have to see it more than once to notice everything. Heck, even after 25 times, they still do things that make me go "Oh. I didn't notice that before." For example, the first time around during "Favorite Son," you might pay full attention to Wallace and the girls. The second time around, you might pay some attention to Stark and his reaction. The third time around, you might notice the madness that is the couch with Esper, Dec, and Miguel. So, there ya go. You don't have to be rich to see the show more than once and everyone has their own reasons on why they would.

mallory, with all due respect you're being very selfish here. you're very caught up in how this affects YOU. what tony thinks of YOU. how what i've said has upset YOU. well, i'm sorry about that, but if what i've said makes just one person stop, think, and consider someone other than THEMSELVES for a moment--particularly, the cast member who's voice is shot, has an engagement to get to, or is tired and wants to get home, then it was worth saying. R.E.S.P.E.C.T---- always.
