GDM Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm not going to lie. I'm kind of in love with that logo.I agree. One of the better Broadway-bound ones I've seen... and living here in NYC, I've seen a lot of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reminiscent of Spring Awakening and Rent (in style). Well played, Michael Mayer... Well played... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played...Is it just me, or does the O in the logo look like a dog-tag with the heart hand grenade on it? Considering the little we know of the plot, that would definitely tie-in.

As someone who works in marketing, I think it's pretty smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and a CD of the Original Cast Recording (doubt they will do that unless it goes to Broadway) would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see those available by September. If not then, definitely for an NYC (specifically Broadway) run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Just to let you all know, especially here in NYC, my friend is re-doing his rock musical from 1990 called Lizzie Borden: An American Musical. This has been in the works for 5 years, so it's not jumping on any Spring Awakening or American Idiot bandwagons, I'd like to dispel that rumor before it starts! haha...Anyway, I was in the first production in 1990 and there was another run in 1991 or 92. From what I understand, the musical director from Spring Awakening (whose name I can't remember) was doing the show but then decided to do the Spring Awakening tour. There's an entirely new cast for this show's incarnation.They haven't really started advertising yet, but it's going to be at the Living Theater here in September. The music is great and the story is a classic tale of murder, revenge, and blood. Who could ask for anything more?http://tookanax.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll end up checking it out when it opens. Note: I'm a huge theatre nerd. I just happened to grow up on Green Day, so the very idea of "American Idiot" makes my soul very happy!

Tim the director and Steven the lyricist are great, the songs are amazing and there will be onstage blood! Woohoo! Haha.Do you do theater here? I studied experimental theater at NYU in 80s but I don't do much acting now, unfortunately.I'm very excited by American Idiot. I can't wait to see what they do with the audience participation, you know how the NYC theater crowd is... blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do theatre, but I fell into the marketing side and stayed there. You think they'll have audience participation for American Idiot? Hmmm...I don't know. We'll probably get a better feel for it after reading reviews from Berkeley. I don't see Michael Mayer going with audience participation, but I could be wrong. I just want an NYC run!

I'm just wondering if/how they will incorporate... not that it's going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little direct audience participation, but I saw a little more dressing up and Rocky Horror style callbacks the last time I went. I could see that one becoming a little more interactive.

If it's in an off-Broadway theater, it would take the audience attitude down a bit, but a B'way house... well, we'll see. Although I went to see a production of The Who's Tommy in an off-Bway theater in Brooklyn the night before GD was at GMA and while the cast rocked it, the audience was not prone to moving. Which is really difficult with such great music. I was tapping my feet and rocking my head... it was a fun show.Ok, I get it now. Yeah, that would be kind of great! Stage seats were really fun!

I have to wait until the tickets go under $65 before I can see anything. I hate standing in line for TKTS, so no, I haven't seen Rock of Ages yet.

LilyMarie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, that would be really cool. I'm still holding out hope that the play will make it to the Seattle area - I feel like it will translate better that way for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
