Interview with Van, which, amongst other things, he says the cast could get a free tattoo from Billie. lol. And he mentions Foxboro Hot Tubs as his favorite experience with AI so far. http://www.broadway.com/shows/american-idiot/buzz/155486/whats-up-van-hughes-the-american-idiot-rocker-on-taking-the-jump-from-standby-to-star/
Also Justin Guarini's taking questions about...well, anything, but AI is definitely included. If this was posted already, sorry.

I haven't seen the new cast yet, but I'm giving Justin a shot solely for the fact that he just did Women on the Verge before AI, was great in it, and all the Broadway divas in that show didn't eat him. lol. If he sucked, you know Patti Lupone would've done something about that...
I wouldn't say Davey's voice is absolutely perfect; from the clips I heard he's a little off pitch. But it's just adorable how excited he is to be in the show and I'm looking forward to it. More importantly, who's coming in after the 13th?! If it's someone new they should be in rehearsals/watching the show by now.
Van!Johnny. So, so, so happy he' was made full time Johnny. JGJ did a good job, don't get me wrong, but Van's Johnny just seems so much more likable. You feel like he really expects his life to get better and wants to try to make it better (although he totally derails from that), whereas for JGJ's Johnny I felt like he was motivated mostly by boredom. Again, just my opinion.
