Roundup
-Yes, Billie Joe Armstrong is currently (briefly) stepping into a supporting role in American Idiot to boost flagging (i.e. 65%) sales. Will the fans come? I guess B'way is still cheaper than a Green Day concert...
-The Trib's Chris Jones has the Chicago angle on local "genius" David Cromer. (Who's also going to direct, we learn today, a B'way revival of House of Blue Leaves?)
-The LA Theatre Alliance consortium pilots a free-ticket lottery program for local companies, to encourage first-time playgoers. I wouldn't mind seeing the NYC nonprofits trying that--if they could agree or cooperate on anything.
-Philip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman? Not a movie, but on stage??? Riedel teases us with the rumors...

Free Night of Theater NYC tickets went up for grabs yesterday - it's in it's third year here: http://www.newyorkology.com/archives/2010/09/free_night_of_t_1.php
I'll be curious as to how the rest of the cast likes working with Billie-- seems like it could be fantastic or a disaster.
On American Idiot's guest appearance, note that last month, Jerry Lee Lewis had a turn in that sun studios, guitar play.
Anyone bet the ghost of Fela Kuti pulls a walk on before January?
