"GD appreciation" as in various GD cd's not having left my cdplayer since the weeks leading up to the Opening Night of the show and playing them loud...and having Foxboro Hot Tubs videos taking up about every other space in my YouTube account :-)

Yes, through John, been following him for a while now and very happy for him for being back on Broadway in this particular show :)

Welcome to the GD Appreciation Club :)! And you can welcome me to the John Gallagher, Jr. Appreciation Club. He and everyone else in the cast of this show is amazing! I never thought I'd want to listen to anyone else singing Green Day's music, but they are just awesome!

Well, that's sure a nice kind of GD appreciation. Like J'net said, welcome to the club! : D

Same here J'net! I never liked it if other bands covered Green Day music or something. But the AI cast singing these Green Day songs.. I love it! :wub:

Some nights they sell box seats (which are partial view) for $37. As for lottoing, making friends who will come and help you out is the best way to increase your odds

There are discount codes at BroadwayBox.com. I think the current ones expires June 30th. As Justin said, there's the lottery and every so often partial views. You can try the TKTS booth, too, as someone on BWW got 3rd row center orchestra for an unbelievable low price. :) If you have time, you can try every method. Heh...

Yeah, it's been over a year for me since I saw it at the Heart Like a Hand Grenade premiere. Then we were told the movie would never be released to the public, and I was in MOURNING. I love that song so much!

It's like a dream come true that it's out now. I love both versions :).

Do you know why the movie will never be released J'net? I look at all the time and energy that Green Day are using to promote the AI musical I wonder why they never seem to push for the movie. Do the band perhaps not want this movie released but Warner are taking the flack for it? I wondered if they may not want to say this to John Roecker after all the time he has spent on the movie. It just seems strange not to release it. I feel the bands intervention could get this moving. Although the album was years ago the music is going stronger than ever thanks to the musical and now seems like a perfect time to release it. I'd love to see it, same as everyone else here. I can't understand why it hasn't even been aired on tv or straight to dvd. Such a waste.

Hah, today I let a couple of musical people hear the OBCR. All day I've helped out painting the ... scene? background? (what's it called in English? In Dutch it's decor) for their musical, and they only brought two cd's or so to listen to, so then I was like "I have a musical on my iPod!!" :happy: (and after that I also put on some FHT and Green Day). I think they sort of liked it, at least. They did make a LOT of mocking comments, though xD But the speakers we had there were kinda shitty so you could barely hear the ensemble.

And one of them is going to London next Tuesday, he's going to see if he can buy me the OBCR there :happy:
