We saw American Idiot on Broadway and it was a lot of fun!! I didn't cry like a baby like I did at Aida and Hair, but still, there were some things that made the back of my throat tingly.
Like when the song "The Last Night On Earth" was performed. It's so pretty especially with all those smooth Broadway voices. I didn't know what the song was called for a few days so I kept calling it "The Heroin Song" because it's at the scene where Johnny and Whatsername shoot up before "doing it."
That part is a little awkward. The sharing of needles is romanticized and things get hot when the young lovers/junkies entangle themselves in a very long rubber band (you know, the kind used to shoot up heroin into your arm). I mean, it gets really sexy.
This is maybe my fav song from the show so far. It makes me melt every time. I can't find the Broadway recording online so I'll upload the Green Day version for now. It's sort of the same. SORT OF. Come over and I'll play the Broadway version for you on iTunes, or I'll just sing it for you in person.
