ParadoxAndPlaid Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I had a dream yesterday I was on a bus going to see the musical again. I hope Hunter and I get to this summer. And I don't think that it would close in july, what source is that coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHyena86 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm flying up to NYC Tuesday to see the show on the 20th, and starting to get really excited. Anyone else going that night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie_GD Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 True! A girl that talked to him today said that Billie told her they'll stay there till they start touring so they can watch the musical many times cuz they only come back in August and the musical will be over in July. She got pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The thing is to close in July is kind-of silly in terms of sales. It's still the summer; people are still on vacation. If Broadway shows close, it's usually after Labor Day which is what is currently the last day of advance sales for AI. IMO. Is there a possibility of this show actually closing in September ? I have no idea if it's doing well enough to survive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Is there a possibility of this show actually closing in September ?

GDM Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 its scheduled to end sept 4th. they can either close it earlier than that or extend it We will all find out one way or the other when we find out. You guys also know how Billie Joe sometimes loses track of time and dates. He's a busy dude. And how he says stuff that he probably shouldn't. lol. But, hey, who knows what is going to happen. Let's not get ourselves worked up over things we don't know about and not in our power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaid ducky Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 its scheduled to end sept 4th. they can either close it earlier than that or extend it FYI, it's not "scheduled to end Sept. 4th." It's technically "open-ended." Advanced sales are up until Sept. 4th, which they can extend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDM Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 ToniAnn, sometimes Plaid Ducky can be a bit direct. I don't think she means anything by it. It's all theater jargon anyway. The show could close tomorrow or run til the next decade. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bailey89 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I saw the musical Saturday night and I figured I would come here to put in my two cents since everyone around me is tired of hearing me talk about it I am a huge Green Day fan, obviously, and also a fan of musicals so I was excited to see this, to say the least. However, even being such a fan of both, it was way better than I expected. It's really hard to describe what it's like to see it. I've heard people tell the haters that you can't judge it based on the cast album or television performances and I have to agree completely. I fell in love pretty much immediately and I want to see it as many times as possible. It was amazing to me to see how far that album has come. It is music that is near and dear to my heart and has been the soundtrack of years of my life. To see it transform into something equally as big and powerful as the album but so different brought tears to my eyes. I noticed new things in music that I have listened to countless times. There were nuances in Billie's lyrics that I have somehow missed until now. I felt like it added so many dimensions to something that was already multi-dimensional. Lyrics that I thought I knew the meaning to suddenly have so much more meaning than before. Not to mention that the cast is kick-ass. I know that it's different and I get that many people hate it or think that they do. But to anyone who considers themselves a Green Day fan, I feel that you owe it to yourselves and them to give it a shot. If you hate it, then cool, it's not for you. But if you don't at least give it a chance, you may be missing out on something that you wrote off too soon. It really was an amazing time that I wouldn't trade for the world. Rather than the musical being a totally different take on Green Day, it felt like an expansion to Green Day and their music. It was just an incredible experience that I think every fan should at least try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to be frank. Heh... like Tanya said, it's theatre jargon. haha its okay! I'm just hoping for the best for the cast, since they're such sweethearts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I sure as hell don't hope they close that soon! I'm still secretly hoping for somehow finding money and going to NY on my own or something, going as cheap as possible on anything but the musical tickets. Which is a totally unrealistic plan, but still..... and if it closes that soon there's hardly no (or 'hardly any'? I never know what it is) chance it goes to London or something.

newsflash777 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 So my friend told me she was taking me to this for my birthday, but last minute she changed our NY trip to Cali.
