desertrose Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 http://denvercenterblog.tumblr.com/post/86731775351/american-idiot-in-denver-billie-joe-armstrong-wishes By John Moore Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was in Denver on Friday to attend the opening performance of the final tour stop for the Tony-winning Broadway musical American Idiot. The show has been touring for three years. Armstrong was joined by director Michael Mayer and Green Day drummer Tré Cool, among other luminaries. Mayer not only directed American Idiot but the original Spring Awakening, for which he won his first Tony Award. He is nominated again for directing this year’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch. After Friday’s performance, the bigwigs took turns thanking the cast and crew, and wishing them well as they disband after Sunday’s closing in Denver. "I think there is something about being a part of what happens on that stage," Armstrong told them at a post-show party held at Pizza Republica. "It’s very emotional. There’s never a dry eye in the house - and by that I mean the house in my skull." American Idiot is based on Green Day’s groundbreaking rock opera of the same name. Armstrong not only wrote all the lyrics, for a time he played the role of St. Jimmy in the Broadway production of American Idiot. His nephew, Andrew Humann, is an ensemble member in the national touring production now here in Denver. "You can see the chemistry that happens between everybody," Armstrong continued. "You can feel it. And this cast: You looked like a bunch of friends. And that what was so beautiful about it. That’s the kind of chemistry this show needs. So, thank you."

Johnny (Charlie Losiewicz, Mansfield), Will (Tucker Still, Mansfield), and Tunny (Noah Bridgestock, Pawtucket, R.I.), childhood friends, long to escape their unhappy, media-saturated suburban lives, but pregnancy, drugs and the military keep them from pursuing the lives they are destined to lead. The story follows each of their paths of discovery encountering such memorable characters as the drug dealing St. Jimmy (Ian Simpson, Franklin), the rebellious activist Whatsername (Alexa Lieberthal, Wrentham), Heather (Casey May, Easton), Will’s long-time girlfriend, and Tunny’s wartime love interest, Extraordinary Girl (Jenna Corcoran, Milton). Un-Common’s production brings together the talents of Un-Common veteran Director Christa Crewdson (Arlington), Music Director Esther Zabinski (Providence, R.I.), and Choreographer Olivia Moriarty (Framingham).

According to Musical Theatre International's website, it is currently the only licensed production of the show. Musical Theatre Program Coordinator Jonathan Flom has been working with Stephen Gabriel from Work Light Productions (The producers of the National Tour of Idiot) on getting the show to Shenandoah for the last two years.

The show has its gala premiere opening on Friday, September 26 at 8pm and runs Sept. 27 at 8pm, Sept. 28 at 7pm, and October 2-4 at 8pm in the Ohrstrom-Bryant Theatre of Shenandoah University, 1460 University Drive, Winchester, VA 22601. For tickets, contact www.conservatoryperforms.org or (540) 665-4569. The production will be directed by Flom and choreographed by Tiffanie Carson (A Christopher K. Morgan & Company dancer). Musical direction will be in the hands of Thomas Albert with vocal supervision by Matthew Edwards. Scenic design is by Bill Pierson, Costume design by Tanner Pippert, Lighting design by Mac Bozman and Chris Mudie, and Sound design by Golder O'Neill.

desertrose Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Shadowbox snags ‘American Idiot’ Shadowbox Live has snapped up the rights to become the first central Ohio troupe to produce American Idiot, the Green Day rock musical. The company will present the show from Feb. 12 to April 26 in its Brewery District space, 503 S. Front St. The musical, about three working-class guys struggling with life in post-9/11 America, was adapted from the 2004 album by Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, and author-director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening). It includes songs from the Green Day album 21st Century Breakdown, too. Two years ago, a touring production of American Idiot played the Palace Theatre in Columbus. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2015/01/12/shadowbox-idiot.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
