American Idiot Sound Check

The 'Idiot Interns' posted a video of the opening number of American Idiot from today's sound check. The show starts previews tomorrow (March 24th) and opens April 20th at the St. Jame's Theatre. According to Playbill's twitter account, they are allowing filming and photo taking during the invited performance. I've noticed a few differences from the Berkeley run:

• Lighting has changed drastically...it's been amped up and now more colorful
• Johnny no longer sings the opening lines from the song
• Will, Tunny, and Johnny are no longer watching individual TV sets. Rather, they're facing the back wall
• Slight costumes changes -- Brian Charles Johnson now wears a red shirt
• TV placement on the back wall seems similar
• No major changes in choreography or blocking
