The move for him to reprise the role, now portrayed by Tony Vincent, appears to be due to poor ticket sales for the Broadway show. According to the New York Times the week that Billie Joe previously appeared, American Idiot played to 93.4 percent capacity. If you want to catch Billie Joe his show dates are Jan 1-9, Jan 18-30, Feb 10-27.
