As a twenty year old fan of both musicals and Green Day who has been hoping for a stage or screen adaptation of their rock-opera opus my mind is fcking boggled as to how so many people on the first page got their little girl panties in a twist.
I think Green Day fans who aren't that interested in theatre will still be excited because the album was great and people have wanted to see the whole story since it came out.
Why did everyone initially think this was a bad idea? I mean did I imagine the following shows?:
Tommy
We Will Rock You
Rock of Ages
even the film of Pink Floyd's The Wall
This is a genius idea.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
