AFI Frontman an American Idiot

2011-02-12 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 50 Comments
On February-27, a number of cast members will play their final performances on the Green Day inspired broadway musical 'American Idiot'.

While Michael Esper, John Gallagher Jr, & Christina Sajous will be leaving the show, new cast members will include American Idol season one runner-up Justin Guarini.

Additionally, composer & co-author of the show Billie Joe Armstrong will be replaced in his role of St. Jimmy for a two week run by none other than AFI frontman Davey Havok. What will be Havok's broadway debut will begin on March-1.

Oh come on Croc, you'd be there in a heartbeat if it came to Melbourne.

But for now, 'Rock of Ages' will have to do.

Green day blows. I haven't listened to any of what they've had to offer since Warning. They were cool back in the day but I just can't stand any of their new shit.

At this point, it seems Green Day and AFI both want to further reduce their fanbase solely to the preteen/teenage girl demographic.

How about less broadway and instead get that Blaqk Audio album out. More AFI as well because Crash Love was great.

Probably a really smart move on your mom's part.

When was Davey Havok cool?

I actually went and saw AI a few weeks ago and loved it. However, I dislike the way that they keep giving the role of St. Jimmy away to a bunch of celebrities when they have understudies who've worked their asses off to learn the role.
