Melissa Etheridge is een American Idiot

Melissa Etheridge gaat St. Jimmy spelen in Green Day's American Idiot musical nu Billie Joe Armstrong even de persoon niet vertolkt. De periode dat mevrouw Etheridge invalt is tussen 1 en 8 februari. Director Michael Mayer sprak met de New York Times over het casten van Melissa Etheridge: "Billie Joe and I always believed that it would be incredible to have a woman take on the role of St. Jimmy. This character is seductive, thrilling and dangerous. Melissa Etheridge is all that and so much more. She's a rock icon and we couldn't be more thrilled that she's bringing her immense talent to American Idiot."
