Green Day Musical Premieres

2009-09-23 by Electric City | 65 Comments
In a realization of the fears of both those who loved and those who hated Green Day's multiplatinum, Grammy winning American Idiot, Duncan Shiek's staged musical version of the album premiered in a Bay Area theater recently, not far from the punk clubs Green Day formed in. Clips of the show appear to be an answer to the question "What if Rent was even more annoying?" The production includes lots of scaffolding, grungey costumes, and angry looking people in their mid twenties.

I simply cannot for the life of me figure out who thought this was a good idea.

"Hey lets force more greenday down the throats of the public."
"But how can we do that?"
"I got it... Lets use a musical. That way we can annoy people AND they can see us tap dance to boulevard of broken dreams."

I love green day, but this seems pointless and ridiculous...maybe even pointlessly ridiculous...or ridiculously pointless.

It could come across as either way, I saw the kind of immature arguments you can start, so maybe you should just stop right now and not respond to any of my posts anymore. I'm not interested in arguments with internet tough guys.

I wasn't starting an argument at all. I was explaining something to you that everyone else saw as obvious. Stop acting so condescending because you really aren't in the position to.

You really need to shut your mouth, judging by the "3" on your name i'm guessing your not new to being an ass hole, go hit a treadmill and then maybe you wont be so depressed that you have to be tough on the internet you douche bag.

1. it's the internet so yeah no mouths

2. i got banned once for making a joke news article and once more for commenting on a bogus band review that many others had commented on. The only people i act like an asshole to are people who bring it upon themselves. for example i call someone bro and you tell me to stop saying bro. thats a pretty retarded thing to say dude.
3. i'm in extremely good shape and that was a boring and expected insult that has absolutely no base. and finally
4. what the fuck, you call dissing morons on a website acting tough?

Go fucking kill yourself.

Also, can totally tell it's the same director as Spring Awakening. It looks exactly the same choreography/staging-wise. Only difference -- Spring Awakening is actually really good.

And the singer fucking sucks for Broadway standards.
