Melissa Etheridge will take the place of Billie Joe Armstrong, because he needs a break from the show, the Broadway musical, American Idiot.
Etheridge who won The Grammy and Oscar Awards will play drug dealer "St. Jimmy" from Feb. 1 to Feb. 6. Armstrong, the composer and co-author of the musical, returns Feb. 10.
The story of American Idiot is about three working-class characters, there lives and how they struggle to stay in touch with modern life. One becomes a father, one joins the Army, and the other one becomes a drug addict— thanks to St. Jimmy.
"This character is seductive, thrilling and dangerous. Melissa Etheridge is all that and so much more," said director Michael Mayer.by fw editor |
