Green Day — Broadway Idiot Trailer Transcription

["Boulevard of Broken Dreams" plays in the background] [Billie Joe Armstrong] I just wanted to get the hell out of my town I wanted to leave with reckless abandon I didn't care where I'd end up As long as I saw as much as humanly possible I never thought I'd end up doing Broadway ["Too Much Too Soon" plays in the background] [Billie Joe Armstrong] How loud are you gonna go? [Director] The plan would be as loud as it's tolerable [Tré Cool] Yeah [Director] My heart was in my throat because What if this doesn't work for them? [Billie Joe Armstrong] My fear was that it was just going to be sort of absurd and not relatable and corny ["Jesus of Suburbia (Broadway)" plays in the background] [Stage Director] What we'll be trying to do is to get more coverage, in here [Billie Joe Armstrong] Do you feel like it's too fast? [Director] The subtext is puke could be coming out at the television set with George Bush in front of you [Stage Director] My thing is stories and working on emotional responses It sounds really... I was going to say 'wanky' but that's not a good word to use is it? ["21 Guns (Broadway)" plays in the background] [Director] A little bit more of a drop [Billie Joe Armstrong] Go! [Whatsername] Yeah! [Director] I've got notes baby [Billie Joe Armstrong] We were able to create a dialogue I think I've been waiting to have my entire life. And it didn't happen in rock & roll music, it happened in theatre. That's the thing that blindsided me. That was fucking sick [Coordinator] Welcome to the [?]tipsy road[?] ceremony for the opening night on Broadway of American Idiot! [Billie Joe Armstrong] It is really strange to see Donald Trump I was like "what the fuck are you doing here? really?" [Tré Cool] This is the holy play [Director] Let's not make it too intense We're gonna run this whole sequence By the time I suggested he'd be in the show, I saw a little light behind his eyes flicker of excitement. He said "Oh my god, are you serious about this? I'm shitting"
