I didn't like "Rock of Ages" because I didn't find it all that funny or entertaining, and I'm not a huge fan of that music anyway. "American Idiot" was originally conceived as a rock opera, the way The Who's "Tommy" was, so I think it could work, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341231489185317489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-90367602332707154162010-01-23T03:28:50.771-05:002010-01-23T03:28:50.771-05:00As someone who doesn't get to see too many Bro...As someone who doesn't get to see too many Broadway shows unless they are touring, I have to say I'm not too excited about "American Idiot". I just can't see their cast album being any interesting if they're just doing Green Day songs. I mean... isn't that kinda what Green Day albums are for? I don't know, I guess I'm just not much of a fan of these musicals that use popular music like "Rock of Ages".RubCar91https://www.blogger.com/profile/04369039111434376390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-36285796156816568592010-01-07T22:12:18.497-05:002010-01-07T22:12:18.497-05:00At the risk of sounding like the old fart I am, I&...At the risk of sounding like the old fart I am, I'm assuming American Idiot will be extremely loud. Like ear-splitting. That does worry me. Also, from what I've read it doesn't have much of a plot. (What is it with plotless musicals?!) <br /><br />But I do love John Gallagher Jr. I like rock-based musicals. And I actually do own the CD and like the title song, although I think I've only listened to it once or twice. <br /><br />I guess I'll see how the reviews turn out.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
