[img=031011_AI-cast.jpg]The New York Times is reporting that the American Idiot musical will be performing for the final time on Sunday, April 24th. The producers of the show broke the news this morning.
After the April 24th show, the musical will have performed 27 previews and 421 regular performances, and will have grossed over 34 million dollars. Much more than the $8-$10 million it cost to get it on Broadway. Since Billie Joe left the show a couple weeks ago, ticket sales have declined dramatically from about $1.3 million to $400,000.
Billie Joe will be will be coming back to perform as St. Jimmy for the final three weeks of the show, starting April 5. Davey Havok's run as St. Jimmy will end March 13th and it is unknown who will fill the void until Billie comes in. It will be interesting to see who plays the role.
Tickets are still available but I'm going to guess they'll sell quickly, especially for Billie's three week stint. So get your tickets soon if you would like to see the show before it closes its doors.
The show is still [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2226/]scheduled to tour[/turl] this fall and currently holding auditions in some cities.
