freedomisnotallitscrackeduptobe asked: I noticed someone asked about student rush tickets. didn't they stop the rush and start lotto? or do they do both? also, if it was lotto you/they were referring to the tickets are the first two rows of orchestra not back two :-)

christineofsuburbia asked: I am going to go see Billie Joe in American Idiot during a matinée on a Sunday sometime in February. I know he usually doesn't come out for signing's after the show, but I've heard that you could catch him on his way into the theater before the show. What are the chances of me getting to meet him? How early should I go? What door should I go to? I need as much advice as...

filmuk13 asked: i can't buy tickets for the show in advance even though I really want to. should I just take my chances and hope for student lotto/rush and see what happens? I'm coming for a weekend though so I know that's high volume for both

cvike-deactivated20120529 asked: where are the student rush seats located? And would it be any good to try or just get a ticket online now?

-swingingoutoftheblue-deactivat asked: hi! a couple of questions...
-will john gallagher jr still be there on the 27th?
-who is known to be the nicest member of the cast?
thanks so much!

opentheiris-deactivated20110520 asked: In reply to the last message- I wouldn't recommend stoping John before the show, since he has to get in to make his call time. I recommend waiting until after the show. It's much more convenient for him.

anotherexwife asked: To the person asking about meeting JGJ after the show, you have a better chance of saying hi if you get there an hour or so early and waiting til he gets there. I was able to have a nice conversation with him twice because I got there extra early :)

uptownisdeadnow asked: For those who are curious about Theo's replacement, it's not as simple as someone taking over his role. It's going to be split:
Miguel will be the Representative, Gerard will do "Too Much Too Soon", and the new guy, Jason, will do the rest of Theo's track, including his solo in "Death of St. Jimmy"

itsanewdaybutitallfeelsold asked: do you have the recording of good riddance from january 26 when he dressed in the cheerleader outfit? not the video, just the audio that you can download?

dancingdowntherabbithole asked: Hi!! First, I LOVE your blog! I am going to NYC for the first time in 2 weeks and I have orchestra tickets for American Idiot on the 16 of February, which means I'll be seeing Billy Joe as St. Jimmy which I am so excited about! But anyway, I was wondering if you knew if any of the cast did stage door and signed and took pictures after the show? Meeting any of them, especially JGJ would be...

Van Hughes will be playing Johnny from February...

Rutgers' Article on Michael Esper: Former student... →

The 34-year-old actor draws inspiration from his personal experiences while performing in the musical. “I wasn’t a big stoner in high school,” Michael Esper said. “I smoked a load of pot my first year in college, not as much as Will though. I didn’t research for the role by getting drunk and high. I explored things from my past, like reading comic books and listening to punk rock.” … ...

ihaskidgloves: Good Riddance - 27 January 2011...

anthonygerm asked: I was there last Sunday for the evening show, but got there early for the end of the Matinee to see if I could catch BJA. I got to the theater around 4 and was there WAY too early in my opinion. It was freezing and I was just standing there. There were a few other people there as well but not enough to cover every spot on the sidewalk where he would come out and sign. Last Sunday, I waited for...

opentheiris-deactivated20110520 asked: Response to the last tip about meeting Billie- Since Billie is in the show for 50 shows, and not 8 like he was in October, it's a lot less crazy. I wouldn't say it's necessary to get there BEFORE the show starts anymore. I think 10-20 minutes before the show ends in perfectly sufficient. He takes anywhere from 20-40 minutes before he comes out and signs. It's a crap shoot as to...

jackiewithe asked: okay thanks so much! Does he not come out for a while though?

theburiedgirl- asked: In response to the person who wants to meet Billie after the show, it's best to get there an hour or two before the show even starts. I'd also suggest that, if possible, it might be better to hang around for the evening show, because many times only a few cast members come out after a matinee.
When I met Billie in October, I was at the theatre around 6-6:30 ish and me and my...

opentheiris-deactivated20110520 asked: RE: the meeting billie
The mat lets out at 4:35-ish. I'd say get there around 4:20. Stay towards the middle of the barricade- never the ends. Put yourself in the front. You should be good- just as long as he comes out.

makeitseven-deactivated20110726 asked: I want to try and meet the cast after the matinée this Sunday even though I'm not attending that show, but I'm worried about the crowds for Billie Joe.

What time should I get to the theater in order to get a barrier spot? I'm thinking around 3:30 or 4:00...

grassmah asked: Billie is a hit-and-miss for matinee. It's never a certainty, so don't always count on him coming out.

cherryonacigarette asked: He does sign for Matinee :)

Good Riddance | 1.26.11

jackiewithe asked: Two questions if that's okay :)
One- Is Stark Sands in the show anymore
Two- Does Billie Joe come out for Autographs and pictures after a matinee performance? Or just at night? :) Just wondering

thenypunk asked: Hey! Do you know who's going to be off this friday and saturday? Thanks!

after10cupsofcoffee asked: did you know why billie joe start to play as st.jimmy the first time he did? i mean was somebody sick or something?
