Apparently, he’s working on These Paper Bullets, a rock adaptation of the Bard’s Much Ado About Nothing – a story about a band from Liverpool moving to London, with lots of drama, love, good and bad stuff, etc.

Why Armstrong? Well apparently, he earned a lot of Broadway rep when he adapted Green Day’s American Idiot to Broadway in 2010.

As for Green Day, they’ve resumed resumed their postponed U.S. tour earlier this month and will stay on the road until their April 19th show in Los Angeles.
