Billie Joe Armstrong boosts 'Idiot' ticket sales
NEW YORK – Having Billie Joe Armstrong on Broadway was — not surprisingly — a pretty smart move for "American Idiot."
Producers of the rock musical say ticket sales soared to more than $1 million last week when the Green Day front man joined the show for eight performances ending Sunday.
The show's weekly average gross has been $740,000 since it opened on April 20 at the St. James Theatre. Last week it was $1,092,334.
Armstrong, who composed and co-wrote the musical, made his Broadway debut as "St. Jimmy." Actor Tony Vincent will resume performances in the role on Oct. 12, with understudies playing the part until then.

Yeah, I got the pre-announcement and I sooooo wanted to go see it again. On Broadway. With Billie Joe. But that's a bit of an expensive spontaneous trip from California. :(
No surprise his presence increased attendance like that!
Good grief, that's quite a surge. Not surprising of course - I'd have gladly been a part of it, too, had it been at all possible.
(BTW, my first thought after reading the first line was about a different "Idiot" - the one by Dostoevsky; so it gave me pause for a second)

Hmm, how quickly do the tickets usually sell out? I'm asking because there is a (very slim) chance that I'll have a business trip to the US late this year or in early 2013, and I'd LOVE to go to one of GD concerts. But I might not know the dates of my visit until around November, and I have an unpleasant feeling that by then it will be too late.
They are not coming close to me. <_<
After Billie's 'incident' on stage, there may not be a tour?
Why? I'm sure he has another guitar or can scrape together enough change for one. :)
I'll NEVER feel too old for good music or a good concert. Next month I'm thinking I'll travel to GA to see Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie.
While some publicity appearances may be cancelled, I'm sure the tour will go on. :thumbsup:
New album dropped. Anyone listen to it yet? I have the download, but can't do it until I get back to my personal (vs. work) computer tomorrow night.
Just downloaded the new album.
Listening to it right now. :D
