Is the show by Michael Mayer?

Is it an odd concert ?

Is it something different ?

Lizzie If you read what I wrote. The webpage has '.com.au' . I tried google but nothing came up for Australia. I just have this funny feeling that a small theater company is doing it rather than Micheal Mayer .

I read it. I know the .au suffix means Australia. You didn't try hard enough.

yet, that doesn't really provide an answer to her question, does it?

 

HopesS - I would say it is a version of the musical, but a google search is not turning up any confirmation

 

EDIT: At least this website thinks it is as well: http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/looks-like-green-day-american-idiot-musical-finally-coming-australia/

It appears that in 3 days and 19 hours, they'll announce a production of the Broadway musical American Idiot in Australia.

It's a hand grenade about to go off and they assume the person holding it is American. Hence the name American Idiot.

Hope that helps you Mr. Smith, uh I mean HopesS.

I wonder if its Michael Mayer or some stupid regional theater production that QPAC always gets

I would guess the latter.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Domain name is owned by Shake and Stir Theatre Co, a theatre company in Queensland (http://shakeandstir.com.au/).

Amateur rights are currently restricted in Australia, and they're using the original Green Day album logo, not the Broadway logo so makes me think perhaps its just a live presentation of the original album.

Cheers, Thanks for that. I guess I will be avoiding it. Michael Mayer has never directed a show in Australia. And really hate that as a fact. As I believe he is one of the best directors. I guess its time for another Broadway trip. I just been . But feel like the need to go again. Might even save Sydney for later and see Aladdin in NYC. But to be honest. Groundhog Day, Comet hold my interest more. I love Disney (on the Disboards) . but those shows sound amazing. And yes I saw 'Hamilton' such a  great show. Just waiting for Harry Potter to announce 2017 or 2018.
