It’s not badass It’s called punk And not giving a shit about social nonsense and all Yk He can’t make a album against it all and then just play along and be like them U rlly see that this here is something he had to do to get that musical working Rather then something he wants to do Bc this is essentially society bullshit and he doesn’t want it Bc it’s totally against what even the album says But it’s like u gotta play with the devil to defeat the devil yk Idk
I don't like it. I feel like the lead singers voice is just not right for this type of music. But hey, thats just my opinion. Still love Green Day tho:D
Is no one going to mention the actress who was upside down, headbanging for 3 minutes straight, lands, and immediately jumps into choreography perfectly?
@@annalinevanluvender1384 Thats not right, Michael Mayer was the director for the original cast of American Idiot, the original Rent production was directed by Jonathan Larsen, until he passed away the night before its premiere on off-Broadway.
This is actually a really good show and not just for us Green Day fans. I saw it with a non-Green Day, theatre geek and she liked it. There's actually a good story and political statement behind the GD songs.
genela c That sucks. This would have been an amazing medley that not everyone would have done, it would have provided an amazing opportunity to sing different songs packed with different kinds of emotion. Frozen is just overdone.
This show is fantastic, Tony performances never do a show full justice. And stark! You will never escape your adorableness no matter how hard you try, at least for me. And if it doesn't conform to your "type" of musical then Green Day was successful in making their musical. It's a rock opera people- get over it!
dear broadcasters...you're not fooling us with that cutaway...if we are tuned in and listening to this song bc we love Green Day, we know the real words :)
On a serious note about this show, I am 21. I saw it last year. I loved it. My friend loved it. My 60+ year old professor hated it. My guess is that he did not know the music and so it didn't make much sense to him. I enjoyed the show. Beautiful underline, beautiful visuals, beautiful singing. It was great.
I'm in my late 50s. I flew out to see it 4x on Broadway and I've seen it twice since on tour. I've always loved the album, but I hated it the first time I saw it because I thought that the music and a "Broadway" rendition just didn't mesh. I obviously changed my mind later, but I just wanted to say that there are other reasons not to like the musical other than not knowing the music
@@sisterheresy Agreed. Greenday was the shiz back in the 90's when I was in my heyday. I like Musicals, I was a theater Geek, myself! But Broadway voices singing punk music... just... 🤔🙉 Also, Hamilton makes my ears bleed. All I can think is WWNWAD? (What would NWA do?) 🤭🤣 It ain't seem right. But perhaps that's precisely what makes it right? I mean look at Josephine Baker! She was a total revolutionary on the stage, even though Broadway was too racist for her back then. So we've come a long way, baby. There are plenty of revolutionary musicals.... Hair... Jesus Christ Super Star... etc. So why not Greenday? There was also an element of humor in all the aforementioned revolutionary stage productions. I'm not trying to shit on these Broadway productions. I do appreciate that, paradoxically, they lent a platform to the revolutionary spirit of the younger audience. And tied in history. The musical production aspect is just really funny to me... Which I suppose is good, bc we shouldn't take ourselves too damn seriously. 🤷♀️ After all, Billy himself is laughing his sellout old punk ass all the way to the bank. (And I like him a lot, so I mean that in the most endearing of ways.)
i think 21st century breakdown needs to be a franchise. when i listen to 21st century breakdown, i think danger days, yknow? the whole idea of standing up against the government and the people who are doing shit wrong?
AndrewUnknown of course it did, it’s still highly political but it’s also kind of a love story - Christian and Gloria, it tells a story of their start to their rebellion. The rebellion raging around them is the best part undoubtedly but they are key.
I saw this one on Broadway and it was fantastic. Recordings of it don't give it justice and the atmosphere in the room is just superb. I went into it not knowing what to expect, but it ended up being one of my favorite musicals. If any of you get a chance to see it, I would highly recommend that you do. A fantastic show with a fantastic cast.
I wouldn't consider theatre people "normal". Theatre people freak the fuck out over different people but calling us normal people is a stretch. A huge stretch.
you see, this is the Tony's, slightly classier environment than something like the Grammy's, plus I'm sure that celebrities at award's shows are used to celebrities.
Yeah, but they see celebs like Lin Manuel Miranda and they literally freak out (well, I would also do it if I saw him). It´s just a matter of vision. Like Victoria said, they freak out over different people
If there's one reason I wish I lived in America it would be because of its theatre scene. I came here after I read John Gallagher jr.'s wiki profile. I got to know of him after watching the Newsroom on tv in which he is amazing. I've been going through clips and clips, and I feel like, even though I was born in not such a bad generation I'm grossly missing out on some great things in life. Like this show. And Spring Awakening. And Hamilton. And I don't really know what else but I am sure there's more. Hopefully, at some point they'll come to Bombay? With Johnny Gallagher, of course.
"Please welcome the songwriter of American Idiot" yeah no mention of the fact that he's the lead singer in the most notable rock band of this generation (in the entire world, really), how his albums are triple platinum, how he's toured the world, nope not important. Now he just looks like some broadway composer wearing guyliner.
Well, they don't introduce Idina Menzel as the woman who sang for fucking frozen (since right now she's more known for that than for playing Elphaba in Wicked), do you know how long it would take if you introduced people for all their achievements in life instead of for the things they're there for? This is Tony Awards, not fucking Kid's Choice
RedHairedRiot I'm sorry but, no just no. I love "harder" music (aka desertrock, stoner,punk, metal etc) and green day, not that great. i am a musician myself and yes, I am actually also trained in musical theatre, which I equally love. and green day? yeah I sorry hun, typical "harder" pop rock for 11 year olds. does it make great broadway musical? yes, it really does! is it great punk usic and is he a great songwriter? nope also rock music? didn't think so
RedHairedRiot They introduce them by saying why they are there and how they are relevant to the Tonys. The only thing Billie Joe has done on Broadway is American Idiot so that's how they introduced him. All the other stuff would not have been relevant.
bruised bones Green Day is anything but pop rock. Their musical basis is punk, but they do go for more alternative rock, but there's still punk in there. Personally, I feel they're one of the best acts right now. Which, admittedly isn't saying much because of who they're competing against in this modern era, most being complete shit, but they're one of the saving graces of the music industry right now. You call them "not that great," I call them one of the most essential acts for keeping every modern & up & coming musicians from going completely pop, being raised on late 90s-early 2000s garbage. Also, for 11 year olds? They're not Simple Plan. Not that they're bad either, it's just the subject matter of their songs.
I saw the whole show live in Glasgow last year. It was fucking amazing, (I saw it with the British touring cast instead of the original cast). The music is incredible, the vocals are great, and the story line is perfect. It's so relatable to being a teenager too, which is why I love the album in the first place, but the musical brought that to life.
That would feel somewhat scary/intimidating having the man that sing that song watching over your performance haha. I'm sure Billie would love watching people singing his music and sharing his story and views though!
Forgot I wrote this comment haha... I've actually since been to see the UK version of it and it didn't seem anywhere near as cheesy as I expected it to be - I was totally blown away by it, it was amazing and so interesting to see how they told the story of the album. And I agree! This is definitely not the best representation of it!!
@@SinisterRealist billie joe armstrong is bisexual and the lead in this is straight so i dont think the sexuality of the broadway cast has much to do with the fact that its musically arranged to be a broadway musical in lieu of a punk album but go off i guess
Hello hi how are you doing up there alright...oh ok im gonna pretend I'm not reading right now ready?... uh before we get started I'd like to say we've never been around so many creative and talented people as we have on Broadway...so far so good (lol :p) uh in 2003 we decided to create a concept record of uh what was America Idiot and it was uh birt- uh born if you'd please uh the album is about people lost both personally and politically and trying to find something to believe in now this is, this is the important part..a guy named Michel Mayor understood the vision perfectly and was able to bring these characters like Jesus of Subirbia & Saint Jimmy & what's her name and brought them all to life and uhh really kept the album's the heart in tact the whole thing so uh.. it's my honor to give you the cast of America Idiot :D
I think broadway needed a wake-up call something they have never seen before. This was it. I have seen the whole show on UA-cam it is awesome, and moving it deals with different things that people can relate to. With John Gallagher jr and stark sands this cast is awesome. Rock on well done greenday!!!!!
I like Green Day and their songs, and I thought they sang decent enough. But what the actual hell is up with them making the drum noises with their mouth?
How is Billie not sat there crying as he hears people incorrectly singing his music, like, I am in pain, im sorry it’s Great performance and I love it but like, ow.
Hmm I'm a musical theatre fan, and also love some of greenday's songs, but I just feel that, talented as they are, the lead male singers in this just don't get the emotion and feel across. Perhaps they were musical theatre performers without any experience with rock? I don't know, but it just seems to be lacking the emotion and feel. I liked the chorus parts though, and I love the musical version for 21 guns. The women singing that do a good job.
@MissAM0RTENTIA i know i meant the guy @ 2:23 to 2:30 john gallagher jr is so hot too and very easy to spot if people know who he is :) he makes me smile he seems like such a cool dude to hangout with
This comments section is a very strange mix of musical theatre people and Green Day fans
Elina But who’s who
I'm both.
Elina I’m both
Lolololol I'm both
I’m both
I love how Billie Joe just walks in.. he's so chill lol
You know, just speaking at the Tonys in front of thousands of people, no big deal
"hello...how are you?... good"
he has a squip
Fr lol😂
The New York Times called this “a glorious temper tantrum” and that’s the best thing ever
Of course they say that. The song is calling them out
@@HedgeWolf23 you are aware that that does not actually have to be negative, especially with the word 'glorious' attached to it?
wouldnt be surprised if 90% of the guys in the cast have played Roger
HAHAHAHAHA
Ha I was thinking the same thing
This is so real it has to be true. 🤣
Will is Roger if he actually never got off the couch xD
I’d put money on it 😂
At least they didn't have to worry about costume budget 😂
Soul-Azuri it was probably like BRING IN YOUR MOST FUCKED UP RIPPED BAGGY ASS CLOTHES and vans
philipisnotfunny Real punks wear Chucks
I'mAnArtist! What if there are punks out there that like, wear, and own both chucks and vans tho lol?!
They just went to goodwill
Honestly fuking true when you dress like this you wear the cheapest shit you can find aside from shoes you invest in the shoes
I love how he doesn’t even try to cover the fact that he is reading his speech :D
Evzenie L always good to say something like that cause it can get rid of nerves. Like Billie has any
Everyone knows that the presenters are reading off telepromoters. It's no secret.
Um I didn't see that at all to be honest :'D
@@charliep123 I didn't lol XD
Fr 😂
I love how billie just walks in, he's like so badass and gives no shits and its great
It’s not badass
It’s called punk
And not giving a shit about social nonsense and all
Yk
He can’t make a album against it all and then just play along and be like them
U rlly see that this here is something he had to do to get that musical working
Rather then something he wants to do
Bc this is essentially society bullshit and he doesn’t want it
Bc it’s totally against what even the album says
But it’s like u gotta play with the devil to defeat the devil yk
Idk
It sounds weird with Billie Joe not singing it. I mean they were good, it just takes some getting used to 😂
No they are horrible
How are they horrible ?? I think it's fantastic ! The emotion, harmonies, choreo...
Soul-Azuri I'm just used to Weird Al singing the parody
They didn't say it was horrible, they said it was weird with Billie Joe not singing it, and even said "they were good."
I don't like it. I feel like the lead singers voice is just not right for this type of music. But hey, thats just my opinion. Still love Green Day tho:D
Is no one going to mention the actress who was upside down, headbanging for 3 minutes straight, lands, and immediately jumps into choreography perfectly?
God ikr !??
I know! I was about to comment this exactly!
Moritz did make it to America!!!!
keziadickensoo88 the sound I made was not human. You just made my day.
ok you all are killing me with the Moritz comments😭💕
then he became a journalist and a news producer...
Hahaha
This is my favorite comment ever right nowb
"Ok, I'm going to pretend I'm not reading right now." XD
Why does it look like an odd combination of RENT and Spring Awakening?
*Pft! Fffp! **_Nngh!_** Pff!*
HAHAHAHA
You can tell this stage direction was inspired by RENT.
53rdAndThird the whole musical has a RENT feel to it
The original production was directed by the same dude
Band on stage, scaffolding, everyone doing everything at once, yeah seems right
Allen Van Luvender No it wasn’t, Rent was directed by Michael Greif, this was directed by Steven Hoggett
@@annalinevanluvender1384 Thats not right, Michael Mayer was the director for the original cast of American Idiot, the original Rent production was directed by Jonathan Larsen, until he passed away the night before its premiere on off-Broadway.
I love how it's such a punkish number but when they all sing together it still sounds like a musical
ha. like half the cast of spring awakening is in this
I spy some spring awakening cast in there
look moritz survives
OK FIRST OF ALL HOW DARE YOU I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY AND U RUINED
was there a second thing or....
Otto is in there too!
F DJ too soon
Twice over in the same show! Gerard Canonico was in this too, he was Moritz when the original run of SA closed
"...so many creative and talented people as we have on Broadway."
ok after this he looks like when Tre Cool does the thing
+Cory Sapienza that is the face of 'bullshit really?"
we all know what the thing is
Love my Spring Awakeners John Gallagher Jr., Gerard Canonico, and Brian Charles Johnson!
John Gallagher Jr indeed. Sighs. He makes my heart happy.
They should do a revival of American Idiot because of... certain political happenings...
They're making a movie of the musical! They got the green light from HBO! =D
#EXITED
keziadickensoo88 Oh Jeez, Stop crying because of Donald Trump.
AM96 Not only that
AM96 It,s okay to cry sometimes...
You don,t have to be a D about it...
Is that the guy who played Moritz in Spring awakening?
Yes.
Euueuee
John Gallagher Jr. If you were wondering ❤️
Yes John Gallagher jr
Yes John Gallagher jr
This is actually a really good show and not just for us Green Day fans. I saw it with a non-Green Day, theatre geek and she liked it. There's actually a good story and political statement behind the GD songs.
You can smell the angst
Smells like teen spirit
i cant like, it's at 69
Billie Jo is literally the cutest
Chicken Permission SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT FFS
damn. lets not go dat far
Cypher Brown *Joe
Cypher Brown *Billie Joe
our choir was gonna do a medley of this musical last year but our teacher chose frozen instead 😔
genela c That sucks. This would have been an amazing medley that not everyone would have done, it would have provided an amazing opportunity to sing different songs packed with different kinds of emotion. Frozen is just overdone.
genela c that's fucking stupid
-_- man that sucks
Can't imagine why.
liduck52 LOL
How is that audience not jumping out their seats like seriously
I would be going insane that's for sure.
Stayler17 it's an awards show, the audience is full of people who are more concerned about their nominations.
It is not Green day it is the cast I wouldn't jump out of my seat for some cast people one Billie , Tre , Mike and Jason......... :/
Bounty Love that you included Jason in there :D
@@iMoonJae i disagree, this is the cast of one of the greatest broadway shows of all time. not “some cast”

And if it doesn't conform to your "type" of musical then Green Day was successful in making their musical. It's a rock opera people- get over it!
it cuts to Gerard Canonico at the back and i did a solid double take i didn't know he was in this???? yes????????????
Omg haha

When you combine Green Day's music with Broadway actors you get one of the best tony performances ever
John Gallagher Jr. What a man
Billie looks good
I think 21st Century Breakdown should get a musical!
BRFC Love Test Lad There are some songs from 21st Century Breakdown that were in this musical
True. However I'm more invested in the 21st Century Breakdown story than American Idiot
i think 21st century breakdown needs to be a franchise. when i listen to 21st century breakdown, i think danger days, yknow? the whole idea of standing up against the government and the people who are doing shit wrong?

is it just me or did i here "pssh pssh" like they were making fighting noises
hey look it's moritz...
Thats the weirdest shit ever!!
Moritz lives on
my eyes hurt after watching this..... sounds sick tho (also rebecca naomi jones omg)
try seeing the full musical live from the third row
This show was way ahead of its time back then. I think it would do really good as a revival today.
And thus my profile picture was born
This comment section is a mix between Green Day fans and theater kids, I am a when worlds collide moment.
John Gallagher JR back at the Tony’s singing censored versions of his musical’s songs 😅 Gerard and Brian too!
"ok imma need you guys to make explosion noises with your mouth. trust me it will be rock and roll as shit dudes"
Nearly everyone in this cast has had a good career after this show and that makes me so happy.
Moments before Rich set a fire and burned down the house
two Moritzes rocking out together.
this is just too awesome.
Um sir you're Canadian
As soon as it started i instantly thought "okay, so its just a professional version of what i do in my room at like, 3am every night."
Much angst, so punk, such hardcore, wow...
Yay my friends are in a local production of American idiot that I'm seeing next month I'm so excited!
hi moritz
I think broadway needed a wake-up call something they have never seen before. This was it. I have seen the whole show on UA-cam it is awesome, and moving it deals with different things that people can relate to. With John Gallagher jr and stark sands this cast is awesome. Rock on well done greenday!!!!!

Billie Joe is delightfully awkward
It makes sense that Michael Meyer directed this. He interpreted Spring Awakening so perfectly, he could absolutely do American Idiot justice! 😊

How is Billie not sat there crying as he hears people incorrectly singing his music, like, I am in pain, im sorry it’s Great performance and I love it but like, ow.
Hmm I'm a musical theatre fan, and also love some of greenday's songs, but I just feel that, talented as they are, the lead male singers in this just don't get the emotion and feel across. Perhaps they were musical theatre performers without any experience with rock? I don't know, but it just seems to be lacking the emotion and feel. I liked the chorus parts though, and I love the musical version for 21 guns. The women singing that do a good job.
