About the Show...
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 is never gone before. When the three disgruntled men 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 Days groundbreaking album to execute the story line.
