Heather. Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Andrew sounds a bit like Billie. I really liked that version of Holiday from him, I usually find that particular section of the play cringe-worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Stacy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well there was surprisingly little different from Broadway, which in my opinion is a good thing. As has been noted before, the flying in Extraordinary Girl has been nixed which is a shame because that part was really technically impressive. The stage and the venue were smaller, making it more intimate, but I think this took away from the "epic" feel that it was supposed to have, also saddened me. In Homecoming, instead of the Rock and Roll Boyfriend singing " and another ex-wife" Will sings "somebody give me a knife". I just didn't understand why they changed that, but it didn't detract nor add, but was just a bit jarring. The two times they say the word "fag" in the musical the singers exaggeratingly limpwristed. Fans know that the term is used in a tongue-in-cheek way but it felt... weird. I didn't like it. And then Andrew as St. Jimmy. Wow. This has always been my favorite role in the show so I payed close attention to it and he did not disappoint. For being an understudy, he rocked it. He didn't have the gleeful enthusiasm and playfulness that Billie had, but he played St. Jimmy as darker, more menacing. His singing was on perfectly and he looked like a 2010 era Billie with the big shock of dyed blonde hair (and he looks like him too). All in all it was great to see again. It wasn't as impressive from a technical or musical standpoint, but only slightly so (and this is coming from a super-critical eye). I loved to hear the music performed like that again and it's definitely rekindled my interest in the album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually has been like that since it was on Broadway! It just wasn't on the cast recording, seeing as it was recorded before opening night (or possibly even before previews began) and changes were still made after it.

Forever Now Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have my tickets for February. Exited to see how the touring cast is. I haven't seen the show since it's last performance on Broadway three years ago. I did see Taylor Jones sing the anthem at the A's game and she was amazing.

I loved to hear the music performed like that again and it's definitely rekindled my interest in the album. I saw it last night in KC as well.. You pretty much summed everything up really well. I've seen the show five times now. Opening night in NYC, closing night in NYC, St. Louis, Chicago, and now KC. Wills line "somebody give me a knife" has been there for quite a while.. If I remember correctly, it was that way for closing night. Also, this was my favorite cast besides the original of course. I'm always picky about voices and the only one last night that I wasn't extremely crazy for was the guy playing Tunny. He wasn't bad, just didn't blow me away. Other than that, killer cast for this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDLoT Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Andrew Humann, Billie Joe's nephew, sings "President Gasman" in Broadway American Idiot tour Thanks for finding that video.

DoodleBob Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Okay so I'm really confused and I really need someone to help me. I'm looking to get tickets for when AI comes to Fort Lauderdale, but ticketmaster and the venue don't seem to be selling tickets yet. However, places like stubhub have tickets and prices listed. My first thought is that people are just saying that they have the tickets and as soon as they go on sale they are going to buy them and then sell them, but I'm not 100% sure. I mean, tickets do seem really overpriced which is why I think it's not really legit but I don't know. Anybody willing it make a guess? Do you think they just aren't on sale yet?

Looks like they go on sale Fri. Jan 31 at 10 am. Not sure how stubhub, etc works. I trust the venue. https://www.browardcenter.org/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=A1C4CA55-0FC0-4BB6-90D5-279861DAFD4D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess but while I trust Stub Hub and have used them in the past, in this case I still think I'd wait for the venue to start selling them and then compare prices and seats to Stub Hub and get the best I could afford.

While I do trust stubhub, they do tend to be overpriced especially if the tickets are unavailable/sold out. I'll just wait until the 31st and get them then, looking at the link you provided it seems that the tickets already are at least $20 cheaper than stubhub's.
