gdpony Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Michelle Rocha.... I don't know her name on here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000128949923#!/profile.php?id=100000128949923&ref=mf she's the girl with the Billie tattoo! she's awesome! also loving this quotes: But from the moment the curtain rises on a panorama of baleful youngsters at the venerable St. James Theater, where the show opened on Tuesday night, it’s clear that these kids are going to make themselves at home, even if it means tearing up the place in the process. “American Idiot” is a true rock opera, almost exclusively using the music of Green Day and the lyrics of its kohl-eyed frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, to tell its story But the emotion charge that the show generates is as memorable as the music. “American Idiot” jolts you right back to the dizzying roller coaster of young adulthood, that turbulent time when ecstasy and misery almost seem interchangeable states, flip sides of the coin of exaltation. It captures with a piercing intensity that moment in life when everything seems possible, and nothing seems worth doing, or maybe it’s the other way around.

valentinesandcigs Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wow great pictures! This whole night is so exciting. This is a band that started out playing shows for 5 people. Now they have a musical on Broadway. God I can't even begin to express how proud I am to be a fan right now. I'm so proud of our boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassHysteria Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 That New York Times review put the biggest smile on my face. So happy for the band, the cast, crew, everyone involved! It should.

plaid ducky Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 According to BWW, besides Bloomberg and NYT: Boston Herald: Mixed Backstage.com: Positive Chicago Tribune: Very Positive AP: Mixed-to-Positive/Positive USA Today: Very Positive Hollywood Reporter: Mixed EW: Mixed-to-Positive Finacial Times: Positive Observer: Mixed-to-Negative Oh, Talking Broadway's his review is mixed, but he absolutely hated John: In his own universe, however, is Gallagher. He takes his unique brand of overacting (which inexplicably earned him a Tony for Spring Awakening) to astonishing and embarrassing new heights, making mincemeat of the internal confliction that's supposed to drive Johnny from despair to drugs and back again. He overenunciates every word, overarticulates every action (no one, but no one, plays a guitar as fake-emphatically as he does here), and grossly underrepresents anything that could be mistaken for subtlety or introspection. Johnny may view the world as an ugly place, but can still get lost in it — Gallagher is just pounding on the windows, his transparently affected rage exactly the excess of artifice the show attacks.
