EW has posted up an interview with Billie Joe. They talk about all the things going on: the musical, the new album, and the tour. This line kinda reassured me about the musical when asked if there will be dancing
Not “dancing” dancing. I don’t know how to really explain it. It’s got physical and violent moves. It’s not like a Lion King thing. It’s dirty and it’s got a lot of heart and it’s got a street mentality. There are no singing cats. No little girls with big curly red hair. It should be pretty cool, man.

He also mentions that the tour should start in June in the US, and they intend on playing some of the old songs along with the new material, not just the new material. When asked if they would release any of the "odd material" they wrote (a "mix of British psychedelic-era rockers Marmalade and anarchist-punkers Crass"), Billie Joe says
I don’t know, if the economy gets any worse, maybe we’ll put that out. [...] No, I hope that’s never going to see the light of day.
