American Idiot
Music by Green Day
Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong
Book by Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer
The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical Green Day’s American Idiot, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day’s album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Slinging razor guitars and thundering drums belt out the saga of anti-hero Johnny and his friends Tunny and Will. When the three disgruntled friends flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities and Johnny’s attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day’s groundbreaking album to execute the story line.
Content Warning: Green Day’s American Idiot is recommended for mature audiences. This production will include harsh language, non-firing gun replicas, portrayals of domestic abuse, attempted suicide and sexual acts, as well as simulated smoking and drug use. American Idiot is a punk-rock musical featuring a live band. Sound levels may exceed what you normally expect for musical theatre.
