susanananananaa Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I leave this thread for a few weeks and come back to find out my favourite AI actor (Theo) is leaving, bummer. Why is he leaving? Does he have other projects? Quote
Moffie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 ^ His last show is (apparently) the 30th and so far, no projects lined up right now. Quote
Ellenkc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I've heard a few rumors that the temp St.Jimmy for February is going to be a woman? Any truth in that at all or... Quote
GDM Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I've heard a few rumors that the temp St.Jimmy for February is going to be a woman? Any truth in that at all or... You mean the rumor that I've heard from two people about Melissa Etheridge? Lol, we'll see. I don't think anyone knows yet except for those people who are in the know. And those people would not be us! Though I wouldn't mind seeing a woman in the part. That would be pretty interesting... Edited January 18, 2011 by t ann Quote
Ellenkc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I didn't know it was her! That'd be pretty awesome, did she do well in Million Dollar Quartet? I never read any reviews. Quote
GDM Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I didn't know it was her! That'd be pretty awesome, did she do well in Million Dollar Quartet? I never read any reviews. Don't know. I've heard it from two people, Broadway-type folks, but I have no idea in hell about the truth of it. They might also be hearing it from the same source, I don't know. And I don't know how she did in MDQ... Would be interesting, either a woman or her. Quote
Bubbles. Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 So... where is the Billie might be getting replaced in Febuary rumour coming from? Quote
GDM Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 And speak of the Devil, the New York Times just tweeted this: nytimestheater NYTimes Theater Melissa Etheridge will take over as St. Jimmy when Billie Joe Armstrong leaves @AmericanIdiotNY Quote
GDM Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 When is this happening? :| They don't say. Either it's for Billie's week off next month or "when he leaves" at the end of February. Quote
Moffie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Probably after Billie leaves. He's only doing 50 performances anyway. But seriously? Melissa Etheridge? ....Okay. She's going in Feb 1-6th. Just tweeted. SEND IN ST. PEACOCK. Quote
Ellenkc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Ooh this will be fun. Well as fun as it can be from the other side of the pond Will they have to change much for her or is St.Jimmy fairly androgynous as a character? I probably wouldn't like this as much if her music wasn't drilled into me as a child I just really think a female Jimmy would be cool. Quote
Bubbles. Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 They don't say. Either it's for Billie's week off next month or "when he leaves" at the end of February. When is his week off? Quote
sundaymorning6am Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yeah, all i have to say re: melissa etheridge is... wtf. Quote
Bubbles. Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I can now put the rope down and continue with life 1 Quote
Robin105 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yeah, all i have to say re: melissa etheridge is... wtf. This. There probably going to have to change a few lines. But I'm kind of curious as to how there going to do Homecoming. She's obviously not going to take her shirt off. Could be interesting seeing a female version of St. Jimmy though. Quote
plaid ducky Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 To be clear, Billie is out the 1st to the 9th. Melissa will be on the 1st to the 6th. Either Andrew or Chase (*crosses fingers*) will be on the 8th and 9th. Also, Gallagher will be out this entire time as well so Melissa will be opposite Van (and maybe Chase, if Van calls out). If you haven't noticed, I just really want Chase to go on for anything. 3 Quote

jos_whatsername Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 a female st. jimmy.. wow. i just read the tweet and was like "oh " when reading her name, absolutely nothing clicked in my head. so is this getting a usual thing or something? letting other, popular people play st. jimmy for a couple of weeks? i always thought it was specially done for billie ... Quote
GDM Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yeah, all i have to say re: melissa etheridge is... wtf. A) She does rock. B) Draws in older crowd, male and female. C) Draws in lesbian older/younger crowd D) I am thinking this is the best stunt casting since... Billie Joe Armstrong playing Billie Jo... er... St. Jimmy in American Idiot, lol. Joan Jett someone mentioned, but she has never been in a show before, I think. Etheridge has acted here and there, so she has that under her belt. I know one thing, Etheridge being added to the show makes someone like me, in her late 40s, kinda proud and happy that AI cast her. Kudos, people, kudos. AND YES, LET'S NOT FORGET ST. PEACOCK! Quote
plaid ducky Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Wait... You don't know who Melissa Etheridge is? Sorry, it never occurred to me that people didn't know who she is. She's a well-known singer/rocker. She still has a large fan base. It will be interesting to see what changes there will be. Quote
Isabel Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 ^ His last show is (apparently) the 30th and so far, no projects lined up right now. Great! That's one of the shows we're going to! Quote
