My teacher today asked the class what our favorite musical of all time is. I replied with American Idiot. He hadn't heard of it so he thought I was trying to be disrespectful so I had him pull up this. The reaction of the kids in my class was priceless
Of all the videos of 'American Idiot on Broadway' that I've seen, I don't usually go for the music. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE GREEN DAY. I'm just not into someone ELSE singing their music. But when Billie Joe is on stage, well -- I'm speechless. Now THAT would be a treat....
"Tom Hanks' production company Playtone Productions has announced that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong will star as St. Jimmy in the movie adaptation of American Idiot, the stage musical based on the Green Day album of the same name. Armstrong, who starred in the role for the majority of the show's run on Broadway, is the only star attached to the film so far. The movie is tentatively scheduled for 2013."
Little detail I loved was when Billie does the crucifixion stance his shadow looks amazing like if his shadow has been positioned to be right behind him the affect that would have would’ve been amazing like Jimmy leaving his last mark on the world before “dying”
I love it wish I could of seen it live. Who wouldn’t love a shirtless Billie lol..I wish the versions of these songs he sung would of been on the American Idiot Broadway album.
Saw this the first week he played st. Jimmy for the second time and when homecoming started I was like, st. Jimmy takes his shirt off during this song. HOLY FUCK
i dont like how the too top comments are about billie's "hot bod", thats not what he was there for, he was there for the acting, no one points h=out how good his acting is
lol they probably just went ahead and added the part of St. Jimmy taking his shirt off because they new Billie would do it anyway just to screw things over haha! :D
