AMERICAN IDIOT

Review: Green Day's 'American Idiot' punk extravaganza makes a white-hot debut (MercuryNews.com) "All of the action transpires on the same set so we slam back and forth from the battlefield to the court of the deliciously demented St. Jimmy (the formidable Tony Vincent). He's the goth-head drug dealer who seduces Johnny with the siren song of self-destruction. There's a particularly disturbing sequence as bodies writhe in the pleasure and pain of shooting up." (read full review)

Review: Green Day's punk rock opera 'American Idiot' draws standing ovations (thedopereport.com) "Vincent easily had the best voice and presence in the show. He’s absolutely magnetic as a Marilyn Manson-esque doppelganger – all nihilism and sneer." (read full review)

Review: Berkeley Rep's 'American Idiot' a worthy new rock musical (sacbee.com) "Gallagher, Esper and Caplan are capable, often exciting performers, and there are others onstage who have electric moments. Tony Vincent as the drug-slinging St. Jimmy and Christina Sajous as the Extraordinary Girl, who emotionally rescues Tunny, are both commanding performers." (read full review)

Theater review: 'American Idiot' (sfgate.com) "Antihero Johnny wallows in alienation and hard drugs under the spell of Tony Vincent's self-destructive charisma as demonic dealer St. Jimmy. Then Johnny kind of comes to his senses and goes home, but it's hard to care. As seductive as Gallagher and Caplan's voices are, it's the women who generate the greatest rapport, particularly the beguiling and mellifluous Rebecca Naomi Jones (of "Passing Strange") as Johnny's passing lover Whatsername, Faber and the impressive Christina Sajous as an aerial-acrobatic Army nurse."

Live Without Warning: The Berkeley Rep's Production of 'American Idiot' Shreds Apart Plot In Favor of Thrilling Visual Pomp (dailycal.org) "But Tony Vincent's St. Jimmy truly hypnotizes. Adorned in gothic artillery and sporting tattoos on his arm, Vincent skulks around, cackling and menacing his way about the stage. As an alter ego, he doesn't have any self-reflective monologues, but Vincent does better as the silent devil on Johnny's shoulder, slyly goading him into heroin use and taking his small performance time to deliver the line "My name is St. Jimmy, I'm a son of a gun" with a razor tone. It's nearly impossible to take your eyes off him." (read full review)

American Idiot the musical fails to give Green Day’s anthems narrative arc (sfweekly.com) "Johnny, Will, and Tunny would make fine indie-rock singers, but the supporting cast members possess the powerhouse pipes. St. Jimmy is an intoxicating glam-rock devil, and the females belt out their songs with more confidence than their male counterparts." (read full review)

Theater review: ‘American Idiot’ an energetic journey with confused purpose (starksilvercreek.com) "Another standout is the punk rock freedom fighte St. Jimmy (Tony Vincent). Half shaved head, tattoos, leather, together with his lanky movements create many interesting moments as he fans the flames of Johnny’s rage." (read full review)

American Idiot: A Work In Progress (stanforddaily.com) "One of the highlights of the show is the absolutely extraordinary performance by Vincent. He inhabits this skinny, guyliner-wearing, strung-out punk and he is utterly compelling, demanding attention whenever he is on stage. The trouble is he is only on stage for a handful of songs. This ends up unfortunately hurting the show, because in comparison, Gallagher’s performance feels slightly flat. While he is clearly very talented, he simply lacks the charisma to make Johnny as interesting of a counterpoint. In the album, Johnny is angry, railing against the injustices and hypocrisy of modern America. On stage, Johnny seems apathetic to the world around him and stuck in his own mind, which makes the songs lose some of their power, like the show-opening title song." (read full review)

American Idiot blasts from your iPod to the stage (thecampanil.com) "As the production unfolds, we watch as the protagonist Johnny (John Gallagher Jr.), based on Jesus of Suburbia, leaves the confines of Jingletown for the city, where he meets girlfriend Whatsername (Rebecca Naomi Jones) and befriends showstopper St. Jimmy (Tony Vincent), a wicked drug dealer who gets him hooked on heroin."
