Whatsinaname Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just don't dress like you're going to a Green Day concert? I suggest to wear something classy yet edgy? I know I'm not wearing my GD red and black striped skinny jeans like I did to the concert. It's such a different venue than a concert. I have no idea what to wear either.

Mar Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Regarding the dress conversation, I think you could actually wear concert wear. A lot of people did when I saw the show (especially those that wore their AI or GD shirts), but I mean, you wouldn't look out of place wearing business casual or a not-super dressy outfit. You won't be looked down upon for wearing jeans and a T-shirt, especially if it fits in with the aesthetic of the show. I wore the clothes I normally wear to work and my friends wore not-ratty jeans/pants, Chucks and their GD/AI shirts, and I don't think either look was too nice or not nice enough, respectfully.

bjafan129 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I saw the show for the first time in Cleveland tonight. It was incredible. There were a few things that were messed up (missed cues only twice and one person didn't come in to sing his line or as my mom called it "awkward silence") and that some of the lyrics were changed (probably to tell the story clearer). Other than that I was in the 4th row and it was awesome!! Watching Broadway Idiot the day before made the story a lot clearer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Johanna McKeon, the associate director of “American Idiot,” took time from her current duties as associate director of Broadway’s just-opened “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” to discuss the soul of “Idiot.” Q: It’s probably pretty common that some people might leave during the show because they aren’t expecting something so rock ‘n’ roll. What do you think is the best way to describe it? A: It is a coming-of-age story about a young man trying to find meaning in his life with a highly maximized physical production with the requirements that a pounding, ferocious rock ‘n’ roll score demands. There must be five times more lighting cues in this show than any other touring shows right now. But I know there’s something for everybody in this show, I’ve seen it happen. (When it was on Broadway), the ladies who lunch would come on Wednesday afternoon with their shopping bags and loved the show. The teenagers with blue hair dragging their parents in from New Jersey loved it. There’s a great many universal truths about growing up and sobering up. There’s a lot of wisdom and morality that’s espoused. If people come in expecting it to be loud and in your face and release themselves into that experience, there’s a huge amount to be gained from the story. Q: What I liked about the show was that even though it uses Green Day’s songs to tell the story, I don’t think it’s a jukebox musical. I’ve heard others disagree. What’s your take? A: When the Who decided to begin experimenting with long form songs, they wondered what would happen, and what they found out is that a longer song has more of a beginning, middle and end. When they wrote “Tommy,” they realized they were writing a story and it’s a rock opera. Billie Joe was deeply influenced by “Tommy,” and he wrote “American Idiot” as a passionately and politically felt reaction to the country’s decline and over-simplification following 9/11. What he created in “American Idiot” wasn’t a collection of hits; he was writing an entire narrative. “American Idiot” had a very clear point of view from the beginning. It defies all definitions of jukebox musicals. Q: You’re doing a lot of one-off shows in smaller markets. How is it accepted there compared to the bigger cities? A: I’ve been at some of the smaller market shows, and honestly some of them are some of the more exciting performances because we hadn’t been there yet. We even played Peoria, and they were so hungry for it. You never know where the audience is going to go insane for the show. We were well-received in Austin and Dallas, but there were some smaller cities in Texas where people walked out. It’s a left-leaning show and there are a lot of things that happen inside the show that have potentially negative resonance for how a religious audience might see it. The show is about being out in the middle of a strip mall in the middle of suburban America. The punk rock tradition is highly intellectual traditionally, and it’s nice to go out to a town with chain restaurants and tons of concrete and question the validity of what that’s doing to the youth of America. This show is very intelligent and doesn’t pull punches. http://www.accessatlanta.com/weblogs/atlanta-music-scene/2014/apr/29/green-days-american-idiot-will-bring-heart-rock-n-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
