“(Spencer and I) had been on the same page (regarding) where we saw the album going so in that sense there wasn’t really any arguing and that kind of helped.” “Everybody wants their opinion heard and so you argue a lot more with four cooks in the kitchen,” Urie said. Singer-guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left Panic! in 2009 and formed the band The Young Veins, releasing the album “Take a Vacation!” in June. Urie says this time around, the group had more creative agreement while making the album because they downsized. They can also be seen acting in “The Overture,” a short film they released on their website to promote “Vices&Virtues,” their recently released thirdCD. “Every musician wants to act, but we have a way to do it where people know we’re not trained actors, so we can be a little bit cheesy,” Smith said. Most recently, Green Day gave new life to their Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling CD, 2004’s “American Idiot,” when they brought the concept album to Broadway last year in a Tony Award-winning production.īut heading to the stage wouldn’t be a stretch for Panic! From the music video for their debut song, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” to their latest clip, “The Ballad of Mona Lisa,” the pop-rockers enjoy acting, dressing up and being theatrical. “Tommy,” the 1969 album from the Who, was adapted to a Tony-winning Broadway musical in the early 1990s. Really far,” Smith said, sharing a laugh with Brendon Urie, the band’s vocalist.

Smith acknowledges that he doesn’t know how to make that happen for Panic! -or if the goal is even possible. “To put together a show that was a mix of our music as well as maybe tell a story … that would be like a dream,” he continued.
“That would be amazing,” drummer Spencer Smith said in a recent interview.
Like those rockers before them, the Las Vegas-based band is interested in taking their sound to Broadway. Panic! at the Disco could be following in the footsteps of The Who and Green Day. Theatrical Pop-rockers Panic! At The Disco May Head To B’way, Downsize Band Over Creativity
