one major critic i have (i know im 8 years late): in boulevard of broken dreams, will is playing the guitar instead of johnny. i feel like johnny should be the one holding and playing the guitar because that's what attracts whatshername to him and also signifies the whole point of the song.. "broken dreams"
My only issue with this production was Jimmy's death, since it was essentially him killing off is alter ego, but it doesnt really make this very clear, other than that it was an amazing production. I still want to see this live one day. maybe when all this virus shit is over someplace near by will have a production of it
The vocals were almost too perfect and it’s like theirs constant auto tune... the overly perfect singing takes away from the acting and you couldn’t tell that st jimmy isn’t an actual character and that he’s just in his mind but they’re the same person
Will pushing the other two away at the end of Jesus of Suburbia really changes the tone of things. In many other versions, it seems like he is either angry or incredulous about his friends leaving without him, and they seem much more callous. In this version, he actually pushes them away tells them that they're leaving (its not a question "you're leaving?", more of a command "you're leaving!"). such a different dynamic, and a subtle change in interpretation of the same script.
