| Thanks for the insight. Prior to the arrival of American Idiot on Broadway I was not a follower of Green Day or their albums. I had no idea 21st Century Breakdown was a sequel to AI. I saw an early preview and absolutely fell in LOVE with this show. At that preview they had not yet begun to tack on the Good Riddance encore. I really wish they hadn’t done that. It feels like, oh we must let people hear a really popular Green Day song form the radio that has nothing to do with this show. The gorgeous gorgeous aching ending with the slow curtain falling and cello deserves to be left on its own as the last thing the audience hears/sees. |
