This has been planned for months.

St Jimmy doesn't really do any 'dancing', it's mostly hand movements and dramatized actions- nothing too different to Billie's usual on-stage theatrical persona. Jimmy doesn't have any dialog either as far as I can remember so Billie Joe won't have to worry about doing any serious acting.

It's an intense role do and Tony plays it perfectly so seeing the creator play the character will be interesting to say the least.

It'll be interesting to see how Billie interprets the role, as it's very open to the viewers imagination. Tony Vincent seems to play Jimmy as a alter-ego imaginary character to Johnny (Jesus of Suburbia) but Josh Kobak (understudy) seems to play him as an entirely different person to Johnny, so I'm excited to see how the creator interprets his own character.

Now I'll re-cage my inner theater geek.
