His first one did alright for itself, so why the hell not?!
Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has confessed to sources that he is eager to get to work on a new Broadway musical, following the success of his first show, American Idiot. He explained that he’s really “interested” in writing songs “specifically for a show” and feels his talent is best suited for this kind of work. He added:
“The kind of music that I like is very immediate and very catchy, and you identify with it quickly, and I try to write that way. And in musical theatre it’s the same thing – you identify with the songs immediately. The good ones anyway.”
Very true! Look at what a thespian he’s become!
Move over, Stephen Sondheim! Your competition has arrived!
