MassHysteria Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Last night was F*cking UNBELIEVABLE! I will post a review/recap later and put the link here for you all to read! <3If I could go again I would! OK, just make sure to post the review in spoilers, I don't want to know the changes until I see it tomorrow one more day!! Quote
CrimsonRegret Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 If I do post the whole thing here, I will. Most likely I will put up a link in this thread leading to MySpace or something where its actually posted. That way who wants to read it can, and who does not is not exposed to the spoilers. Quote

susanananananaa Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Adam Duritz (lead singer of the Counting Crows) went to see the show and sent some tweets about it. I flew to Berkeley this morning & saw the play "American Idiot", based on the Green Day album, @Berkeley Rep tonight. Beyond brilliant. about 7 hours ago from Twittelator"American Idiot" will come to B'way next year & hit Times Square like a bomb going off. It's like the most melodic buzzsaw you ever heard. about 7 hours ago from Twittelator Green Day's songs, Tom Kitt's arrangements, & an incredible cast made up of an amalgam of the best young talent B'way talent. about 7 hours ago from Twittelator It stars John Gallagher ("Spring Awakening"), Mary Faber ("Saved"), Rebecca Naomi Jones ("Passing Strange"), & Matt Caplan ("South Pacific") about 7 hours ago from Twittelator Quote
J'net Posted November 14, 2009 Author Posted November 14, 2009 Adam Duritz (lead singer of the Counting Crows) went to see the show and sent some tweets about it. It's amazing to me that he could leave out Tony Vincent in his tweet about the cast! Quote
elanorelle72 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 The fourth last show just started!just 4 shows left!!hope those who went had fun! xxoo Quote
J'net Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 Well, I can't believe the two shows I saw last night. Simply brilliant! The only disappointment for me was that Tony Vincent's understudy played his part. He is certainly one of the highlights of this show, and I missed him. The understudy did a good job, but Tony is beyond great. The changes that have been made really enhance the audience's insight into the characters. And the ending ... well ... SpoilersLast of the American Girls is indeed included and mixed with She's a Rebel. These two songs are performed with a lot of joy and energy and really give Whatsername a more 3-dimensional feel to me.There's much more development of everyone's relationships, which really add depth to the show.Heather's defection from Will to "Rock and Roll girlfriend" and the way it all ends have become much more clear.St. Jimmy's death has been altered so that he is closer to the floor of the stage (on one of the movable stairs) and is carried off at the end. This is the only thing I'm still not 100% happy with. After the (multiple) curtain calls, the final curtain rises on the entire cast standing on stage in their curtain call positions. Every one of them has an acoustic guitar. As the audience applauds louder with delight, the cast waits until the right moment and then starts picking something beautiful. Something familiar. Something that causes many of the audience members to gasp with joy. One of the ensemble sings the first line of Good Riddance, and then different members take it in turn to sing different lines (or at times all singing together). The joy and love in the room is palpable. What a finish!!! That's all I have time to write now - gotta get ready for Rudy's and another GDC meet up! More later... Quote
laurelw Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I couldn't resist reading J'net's post above, and I am so excited to see all the changes tonight!! This will be my 4th time seeing the show, and every time it just gets better! Quote
Sarahnade. Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for those spoilers, J'net! It's awesome to see they are still expanding things and improving the show. I think it'll be absolutly brilliant by the time it hits Broadway. I'm so excited to see it when it does! Quote
TheBullwinkle Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Totally read the spoilers, excited to see them tonight. Quote

J'net Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 RE last spoiler: WOW...that would give me goosebumps and probably make me cry like a baby.Oh yeah, I left out that part . Quote

incendiary girl Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I can't believe today is closing and they still don't have a theater/dates for the NYC transfer. Hope everyone who goes tonight has a blast! Lucky bastards. :wink: Quote
Abbey. Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Oh yeah, I left out that part .that end part is so so so so so so so so so cool - i am so delighted by that. i wonder who came up with the idea to close the show that way - its so perfectly green day. ugh, im gonna need someone to hold me after that or a massive audience hug (if im ever lucky enough to see it)! Quote

Sarahnade. Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 That last spoiler is so epic. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look and sound. Quote
elanorelle72 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 That last spoiler is so epic. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look and sound.it would be like something I only feel after classical music in like cathedral or somethingi would be a puddle of tears and screaming...if I get emotional I scream..primally ... sometimes...might have to run outside afterwards onto the sidewalk..its how much it would it hit my soul Quote
Sarahnade. Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 ^Yeah. It would be so special and powerful. I'd probably tear up. I'm really excited for when it comes to Broadway. I hope to see it a couple times. I still think the fact that AI has been transformed into a musical is the coolest thing. It's my favorite album ever, and I'm dying to see it. Quote
pismodiver Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 The band did indeed show up to tonight's closing show. No deets yet, just a text from Kat saying she said hi to Mike. Quote
CrimsonRegret Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 The band did indeed show up to tonight's closing show. No deets yet, just a text from Kat saying she said hi to Mike.Darn! I could of went to this show instead of the Thursday one. Why oh why did I not think this was a possibility! To everyone that went.. and is probably still there, *shakes fist* I need details. Quote
J'net Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 I chatted with Mike, Jason F., Billie, and Adie. Billie, Adie and Joey sat right in front of me for the show. Amazing, awesome night! Just wonderful. The show, the people, the emotion, everything!!! More details tomorrow. I feel some grief because it's over. Now I know I'll just have to see it in New York. TOO incredible!!! Quote
