Why see American Idiot?
American Idiot at the in , ,
Direct from Broadway, the smash-hit musical AMERICAN IDIOT tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Their quest for true meaning in a post 9/11 world leads them on the most exhilarating theatrical journey of the season.
Based on Green Day’s GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum album, AMERICAN IDIOT boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. The result is an experience Charles Isherwood of The New York Times declares “thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I’ve seen this year!
Featuring the hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the blockbuster title track, AMERICAN IDIOT features the music of Green Day and the lyrics of its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, direction by Tony Award® winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Black Watch), music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), Tony Award® winning set design by Christine Jones and Tony Award® winning lighting design by Kevin Adams.

WOW, this show just blew me away!!!
So, I am not a fan of Green Day, which may have helped me fall in love with this show in an instant! The high energy performances left me breathless and
wanting more. The amazingly talented performers channeled Angst, Zeitgeist, and--well, Green Day-- perfectly. I wish I could see the show again, bummer,
though it does not play in my neck of the woods anymore (even though I did contemplate driving to Atlanta for a few seconds). I really really want to have a
DVD of this show. I would watch it over and over again. GO SEE THIS SHOW!!! This is my favorite musical to date--and I have seen quite a few musicals. Oh, and I
would watch Green Day live because of this show, as well. GO SEE THIS SHOW!!! ... Read more

American Idiot is phenomenal. It will have you laughing and crying all night. It leaves the audience emotionally and physical exhausted. As Bilie Joe Armstrong said in Broadway Idiot, it is a cold reality of what happened in America after 9/11. The album is true, the story is captivating and relatable to anyone. The set takes you to so many different places and after seeing it four times, going on six, I am still finding new things. It draws you in & makes you think about your place from the first line. It's always fresh. It's a story of love, rage, hope, being lost, adventure, sadness, addiction, political awareness, patriotism, joy, and so much more. The live band makes it real, and the actors are the best of the best. The singing is spot on and will bring you to your knees. Anyone can find a character to connect with. You are missing the experience of a lifetime until you see American Idiot. Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer have created something purely awesome. ... Read more
