Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong To Make Broadway Debut In Show He Wrote

Green Day got their glee club on when they blew the roof off the Tonys earlier this year, and now Billie Joe Armstrong has an even loftier ambition in the theatre world—the rocker will make his Broadway debut as St. Jimmy in the band’s musical American Idiot this week (from Tuesday September 28 to October 3).  As much as we would love to see Adam Lambert in the role, we think getting the guy who wrote the music and lyrics—and has performed the songs live fairly consistently for the last five years—is some pretty brilliant stunt casting.
