Sabina Pinkávová Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Well at least you might go.. I don't even live in America, and I highly doubt I'm allowed to fly to that theater just to see a musical Maybe it will some day! Maybe it will come to Europe sometime!Not anytime soon though. :/ I'll keep my fingers crossed though!

Tripe Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I read that John Gallagher, Brian Charles Johnson and Gerard Canonico from Spring Awakening are supposed to be in it. They're all really great singers. Check out the links:http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800210...d=2524&cs=1 andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gallagher_Jr.Thanks for that. I figured they would all be stage performers, NOT some Hollywood types. The mentioning of Evan Rachel Wood had me a little skeevy. Not that there is anything wrong with her. I just don't want it to be Hollywoodish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the links:http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800210...d=2524&cs=1 andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gallagher_Jr.that would be very likely cuz the band decided to start working on the musical of the album after they saw spring awakening and decided that the director was perfect for directing american idiot...his name is escaping me right now but its on the tip of my tounge but they really enjoyed the show so i could see them using the same actors if they think their fit for the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anja Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Oh, you're referring to that one. Well I think it's obvious he means a couple songs are sung by women. He doesn't say act.. Or that all the songs are sung by women.So I'm sure they're male actors as well.Well, it´s a musical so acting and singing overlaps. Yeah, I´m sure they have both males and females. Everyone forget what I said in my first post in this thread! :wink: I wish I could see this. I may go to San Francisco in October... so maybe Your ava scares me a little, Amy But whohooo for you to go to SF I hope that´s all gonna work out for you!hope they do a rap version of St. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cool to get to go to, but going on the 4th and getting to meet everyone will be awesome as well!

miss_ing Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) ok everyone.......may i introduce to you my dear friend, and soon to be 'St Jimmy' in the Green Day rock theatrical, TONY VINCENT!If you're into the theatre world then you may already have heard of him. Tony has worked with the band Queen and Andrew Lloyd Webber in theatre (We Will Rock You, JCS and RENT on Broadway / West End) and music projects across the world. His roots are founded in CCM, where he relaeased two albums and one EP, but most recently he is promoting a mainstream "rock influenced pop" EP entitled "A Better Way" which is available from CDbaby.com and iTunes. He is married to Aspen (who is also in the same bizz - having been duet partner to Meatloaf on his last world tour and she met tony when she was his co-star in 'We Will Rock You Las Vegas). They just recently moved to Las Vegas from NYC. I'm Ingrid - promo bitch to this star, and I run an official fan site for him (www.tonyvincentworld.com) which is in the throws of an update and re-vamp period, so many links may not be working correctly, but here's some pics to get you going:http://www.tonyvincentworld.com/apps/photo...?albumid=722926tony runs his own artist acct on facebook / myspace, so do check him out there for all the latest as he prepares for this show:http://www.facebook.com/tonyvincentmusichttp://www.myspace.com/tonyvincenthe also has an official website with a mailing list if you'd like to subscribe:http://www.tonyvincent.comhere's an extract from his latest newsletter today where he makes the GD announcement to his fans. (The whole newsletter will be up on his website in a couple of days.)"While Aspen and I were packing up our apartment in NYC, I got a phone call to come in and be seen for the new Green Day opera— based on their record "American Idiot". At that point I was completely unaware that Green Day had teamed up with Tony Award winning director Michael Mayer to develop a stage production of their Grammy Award winning rock record. For those who don't know the "American Idiot" record, Green Day took inspiration from concept records by The Who, as well as musicals including “West Side Story" and “Jesus Christ Superstar". It was a bold move by the band to do something in that genre, but boy did it pay off— selling over 14 million records worldwide. Anyway, the creative team had done two workshops of the "opera" over the past year— and decided to put it on its feet this fall at The Berkeley Playhouse beginning September 4th. From what I understand, the entire show had been cast for quite some time— apart from this one character called "St. Jimmy"— an alter ego of the principle male "Jesus of Suburbia". The storyline nods to the likes of the film “Fight Club”, where a man (played by Edward Norton) has a psychological melt-down against the consumer-based machine of America. Mr. Norton has an alter ego (played by Brad Pitt), who encourages him to create this underground "boys club", in which the members take an oath and sign-up to be part of an army, whose goal is to take down the credit card companies and erase the debt that is owed by basically every single individual on the planet. I'm not sure if the Green Day opera's theme is as carbon copied as the film's, but the main role relationships (Edward's, his alter ego and their girlfriend, played by Helen Bonham Carter, are very similar in nature from what I'm told.So, long story short, I had 3 auditions in New York and 1 in Los Angeles... and I received a call that Billy Joe Armstrong (lead singer and lyricist of Green Day) and Michael Mayer had tagged me as the man for the role of St. Jimmy. I'm thrilled to get an opportunity to work with the band and Michael on this project— and to experience this process from its beginning stages. Green Day has been publicly talking about this project for quite some time, and there is great anticipation for the show— due to the current high-profile status of the band and the history of success stories associated with director Michael Mayer (“Spring Awakening”, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Side Man”).The show begins previews on Friday, September 4th at The Berkeley Playhouse. It's set to close October 11th, with a possible 4-week extension. If you wanna see this show, I'm thinkin' ya best get your tickets ASAP. If this production explodes like Duncan Sheik's “Spring Awakening” did, this is going to be the hottest show to see on any American stage this year. (Tickets will be available from the Berkeley Playhouse web site at www.berkeleyplayhouse.org closer to the dates of the performances.)"So, that's it - he's your guy! thank you for checkin' him out! he'll do GD proud and you're gonna love him. i know it ing x Edited July 9, 2009 by miss_ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
