While producers for Green Day’s American Idiot musical are busy plotting the transition from Berkeley to Broadway, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has joined the cast as a producer in the studio to record a new version of 21st Century Breakdown single “21 Guns.”
As TheaterMania reports, not only will the cast release the single digitally later this month “through all digital retailers,” but cast members, including star John Gallagher, Jr., Matt Caplan, Michael Esper, Mary Faber, and more are set to appear in a music video for Green Day’s original version of the same song.
No specific release date for the single has been announced, but in the meantime, check out the cast in action in the trailer here or have a look at Rolling Stone’s list of the actors’ resumes and sample YouTube performances here.
