Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Emmy Award nominated writer Rolin Jones (Friday Night Lights, Boardwalk Empire) with songs by Grammy Award winner Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and staged byJackson Gay, THESE PAPER BULLETS! was commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre where it premiered in 2014. Below, BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action!

The cast of THESE PAPER BULLETS! features James Barry, Kate Blumberg, Damon Duanno (Brief Encounter on Broadway), Chris Geary, Brad Heberlee, Justin Kirk (Showtime's Weeds, HBO's Angels in America, ABC's Modern Family), Tony Manna, Rod MacLachlan (Magnolia, The Audience on Broadway), Keira Naughton, Adam O'Byrne (Netflix's Bosch and CBS' Extant), Lucas Papaelias (Once on Broadway), Nicole Parker (Wicked on Broadway, MADtv) Greg Stuhr (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Fish in the Dark on Broadway), Ariana Venturiand Nick Ullett (Loot on Broadway).

Meet the Quartos. Ben, Claude, Balth, and Pedro. Their fans worship them. Scotland Yard fears them. And their former drummer will stop at nothing to destroy them. Can these fab four from Liverpool find true love in London and cut an album in seven nights?
