Bono and the Edge have found their lead for the Spider-Man musical, Run-DMC are teaming up with a Hollywood producer for a possible Broadway run, Regina Spektor is writing songs for a Sleeping Beauty adaptation, and now Green Day’s Berkeley-based American Idiot musical is bound for Broadway.
Playbill reports that a Broadway casting notice went public this week and a spokesperson confirmed: “There is a Broadway future for the show, but at this time no dates or theatre are confirmed.” Let’s hope Green Day’s producers have taken notice of Bono and the Edge’s financial troubles and are moving ahead with caution.
Meanwhile, you still have one more week to check out this to-be-Broadway musical live at the Berkeley Rep or watch the trailer here.
