Cast Recording
Should there be an article on the Cast Recording? If so, would it be counted as a Green Day album? --Legoguy92 (talk) 17:59, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say no on both accounts. Few, if any, musicals have a separate article on their cast recordings. On the off chance there is a separate article on the OCR, it would probably fall under the "Related Articles" heading. Fryede (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I mean, Green Day lists the album as a Green Day album... I'm not sure if that would help the case at all, but I do think it's relevant. --Legoguy92 (talk) 05:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

It also states that Green Day did the instrumentation, but they had assistance from the 8-piece orchestra that played the Broadway shows. I don't know how to add references or I would, but I think this statement ignores the work of the musicians who were also included in the Grammy win. The info is easy to find if you google Quartet Rouge. 98.238.244.254 (talk) 07:46, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Rouge Fan

Timeframe
So... Not saying it's bad... but why does it say "A year later, Johnny laments that he lost the love of his life."? Where did you hear that it was a "year later"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.91.90.227 (talk) 02:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It says that a year passed from "Homecoming" to "Whatsername" in the OCR booklet.

Not like I'm whining... but...
When this was first wrote it called the 3 main characters "3 teen friends", but now it says "3 20-something friends". Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.91.90.227 (talk) 02:58, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't answer for sure, but my guess is that they were teens in the Berkeley production and then when Mayer and Armstrong rewrote the book to prepare for New York they aged the characters a few years. Fryede (talk) 03:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They've always been in their 20's, in Berkeley and on Broadway. ---

couple things
what is funeral for a friend i saw the show and i don't recall that being there, and east jesus nowhere wasnt in the show so if there were changes could they please be noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.70.52.7 (talk) 02:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Anyone feel the same?
I'm not a fan of Green Day but I could listen to this album all day! 71.184.94.222 (talk) 23:19, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Em

Uk Tour
The show was split into two acts for the uk tour. Can anyone find a reliable source. Blethering  Scot  22:33, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * A friend saw it in Cardiff last week. I'll check with him. Fryede (talk) 02:56, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Illinois production
[copied from another page]: I've done some digging and the Illinois production is a community theatre production with no one notable in it (http://www.uactheatre.com/#aboutUAC) so shouldn't it really just be deleted from the article? Jobscomforter (talk) 9:54 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)


 * I agree that if it is a community theatre production, it does not belong in the article, although information can briefly be given, if available, about whether or not the work is frequently given by community and school groups. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Agree, go ahead and delete, seems to be clear it is an amateur prodution. Flami72 (talk) 10:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Per broadwayworld.com: "For more than 20 years, Up and Coming Theatre Company has aimed to present professional-quality productions while providing aspiring artists with opportunities to grow in their work. A proud member of the American Association of Community Theatre and the Illinois Theatre Association, UAC received the ITA's Award of Excellence, Community Theatre Division, in 2009." ("UAC Theatre to Rock Out With 'American Idiot' This August"). Flami72 (talk) 11:20, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I removed the amateur production, and I ADDED the current West End production, which was completely missing. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:39, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Gross receipts table; cast table
We should delete the big gross receipts table and instead summarize the information about box office in a narrative sentence or two. Also, the big cast table should remove the casts of all but the Berkely/Broadway and West End casts. Do others agree with this? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:39, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm hesitant about changing much in this article because it is a GA article, with, I believe, the gross receipts table and the cast table (at least some of it). However, the cast table simply does not reflect the Musical Theatre article guidelines and so, I think it should have the Berkely/Broadway and West End casts only, as suggested. Of course, the tour casts can be noted in prose. I also looked at several other GA Musical Theatre articles and did not see any large gross receipts table. I think that what the GA article on Kinky Boots (musical) did : "Kinky Boots set a new box-office record at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre,[50] and "recouped its $13.5 million capitalization in a relatively quick 30 weeks of performances",[51] which was "faster than any big budget musical in recent history."[52][53] In October 2013, Kinky Boots had the second highest premium-price tickets on Broadway behind only The Book of Mormon.[51] As of 4 February 2015, the show had grossed just over $135 million.[54]" is informative without being overly detailed. I do not intend to work on this article in the foreseeable future (I am once again busy with school and some interesting personal projects). Flami72 (talk) 20:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, I made the changes consistent with Flami's advice above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:44, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Australian Production
Someone needs to add information about the Australian national tour of the musical. There is a section for the production in Brisbane, but a national tour was announced following this production. It is currently in Melbourne. I'm not a regular editor so I have no idea how to do this, but it should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.203.169 (talk) 04:46, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
