I gotta say, this was just about the last this I expected, but it's true: Green Day's American Idiot, one of my favorite albums of all time from one of my top 10 favorite bands, is being transformed into a Broadway Musical. Correction. It has already been turned into a musical, and will be coming to Broadway very soonish.I didn't know a damned thing about this until the fiance and I were watching the Grammys last night and the cast from the musical came out on stage with the band. But it's been confirmed, and if you're interested in the plot there is also a full blown Wikipedia article for it already.
American Idiot is a fantastic album, and you should buy it from Amazon if you don't own it yet, but a full fledged musical? I suppose it's possible. It was a full on concept album with a loose story in there... somewhere. This will either be brilliant or terrible, and I want to be there to find out!
Now then, if you'll excuse me, I need to go book a flight to New York.
