Since my senior project is on theatre and education, I thought I'd put up an article about theatre. Now, I don't know how many Green Day fans there are in Senior Project, me not being one of them, but I can appreciate Green Day's talent as artists, and ability to appeal to the masses.
Speaking of Green Day, I don't know how many people know, but at the moment there is a musical out featuring the music of Green Day's American Idiot album called, "American Idiot." It is apparently doing very well on broadway, and has received mixed reviews from various theatre critcs, but the big news about American idiot is the fact that Green Day's lead singer and gutarist, Billy Joel Armstrong, has reprised his role in the musical. The musical is an ensemble piece that focuses on the story of American youths who have wasted their minds on the boring and sterotypical genre of American life. I think it's very interesting to have the person who wrote the music perform in the show, it's like having Bono play Norman Osborn in Spiderman the musical, and I think that it would be an extremely interesting show to see, and is definately on my list of shows to see.

First off, I really like your title to this blog - it's catchy.Secondly, I can't believe the group could make a broadway musical out of that one song and for that I'm actually interested on seeing this production as well.
