TAG Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So, at 7pm tonight, my friend texted me and told me he had an extra ticket for the show tonight. I asked him how much, he said 'free,' I said, 'see you in 20.' Row C of the orchestra on the right side. It was awesome. Michael Esper had his high notes back, I noticed that they've started using multi-colored strobe lights during the military choreography in 'Give Me Novocaine,' the choreography in 'Extraordinary Girl' gets tighter and tighter each time I see it, and the choreography by the nurses during the reprise of 'Before the Lobotomy' still seems disjointed. I wondered again where is the other half of Stark's leg after he 'loses' it in the show. Tobey McGuire was there, standing on the side walk before the show and being mobbed by NO ONE, and when I walked into the theatre, Mike was at the merch booth buying a t-shirt and Tre was at the bar getting a drink. No one was being mobbed, it made me smile. The audience began to stand before the curtain even came back up! Oh, and no trace of Good Riddance at the end yet either! I love it, but I think three times in six days is a bit much. I'm putting myself on at least a two week break! thats awesome [that no one was mobbing them!] & thats awesome you got to go see it for free =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaymorning6am Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't know if Tobey had an umbrella! It wasn't really raining at that point. Do you mean did he have one to hide himself? If that's the question, than no! He was in plain sight and honestly, in person, he's not that recognizable. My friend had to say to me several times, "looks, that's tobey mcguire!' before I actually found him in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundaymorning6am Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 it seems like the boys are showing up to every show.. do you guys think they will be there for all the preview? Yes, I think they will probably be there for almost every preview. I have no authority saying this, but it's just an educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDM Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm really glad that it's calmed down enough that at least Mike and Tre can hang out at the bar. I'm sure they are really happy about that. Not sure if Billie would ever be able to do that, though, in NYC. Though we usually are much better at ignoring stars here than other places. lol.

Thanks! I relaly liked this part from the MTV article: "And for our fans, they're just crazy people anyway. I always look at people in a Green Day shirt, and I think, 'What's wrong with that person? What kind of hang-ups does that person have?' Obviously, it's not just the catchy songs, it goes deeper than that. And I think that's the heart of 'American Idiot,' it goes deeper than just politics, there's a story line behind it. There's an emotion behind it." (although the whole thing was really nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallysimpson Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have one question... what does the symbol that ' St. Jimmy' and 'Johnny' draw on their chests during 'Homecoming' represent? Thanks This is complete speculation on my part: I think Johnny (and St Jimmy, since he the personification of Johnny's addiction) is admitting to himself that Whatshername was right. Whatshername's "symbol" is that pink heart. I think the upside-down cross suggests that he's forsaking his Jesus of Suburbia moniker -- and to do this, he has to kill St. Jimmy (ie, overcome the addiction). However, I think it's important to note that when Jimmy "shoots" himself, he uses an obviously fake gun, suggesting that Johnny may be able to control the addiction but it will always be a part of him.

J'net Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello friends. I saw the show Saturday night 3/27 with the lovely J'net and Dawn (sallysimpson) and Dawn you captured so many brilliant point with your note. This was the first and probably only time I will see the show and I just want to mention to all of you here that if you are sitting on the fence whether or not to go see it, YOU MUST GET A TICKET AND GO SEE IT NOW. i cannot implore you enough to buy yourself a ticket whether it be via the student lottery, the last row in the balcony or the $$$ orchestra seats. YOU WILL BE ASTOUNDED as to what Michael Mayer, Tom Kitt, our Green Day boys, these actors, and the many many talented people behind the scenes created in AMERICAN IDIOT BROADWAY. Hearing the album live front to back with the enhancement of this linear story and these mind-blowingly talented actors will leave you with a greater love for the AMERICAN IDIOT album. It is a brilliant interpretation of the music. How Michael Mayer and Billie Joe fleshed out this story left me in shock. (I briefly met Michael Mayer and Tom Kitt after the performance and they were such gracious human beings to share a moment of their time with a stupid fan-woman like myself.) So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go see it. DO NOT HESITATE. GET OFF THE FENCE AND GO BUY A TICKET. Maybe you will love it, maybe you will hate it....but as a GREEN DAY fan you will, without a doubt, appreciate it. I couldn't agree more, Abbey! And it was so great to experience the show with you. It was my 7th time to see it, but I still choked up at some parts and still sat there looking (I'm sure) like a kid at Disneyland ... lost in the magic .

That was extremely insightful and makes almost-perfect sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go again, you'll see the same symbols on Gerard's and Theo's trench-coats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
