"Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reportedly wants to create an original stage musical. In an interview with The New York Times, Armstrong said that he hopes to work on the project with Michael Mayer, the director of the American Idiot Broadway production, which is based on the Green Day album of the same name. &amp;quot;I think I\u00E2\u20AC\u2122d be interested in the future of really getting into writing specifically for a show, that\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s something I\u00E2\u20AC\u2122d really love to do,&amp;quot; Armstrong explained. He added: &amp;quot;The kind of music that I like is very immediate and very catchy, and you identify with it quickly, and I try to write that way. And in musical theatre it\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s the same thing - you identify with the songs immediately, the good ones anyway.&amp;quot; Armstrong did not offer any story details about the budding stage project. The singer and Mayer also said that they are working on a movie version of American Idiot which could star Armstrong in the lead role of St. Jimmy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
