Green Day
Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong
Book by
Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer
Green Day’s powerhouse album is brought to life in this electric-rock musical of youthful disillusion.
The two-time TONY Award-winning hit musical American Idiot, based on
Green Day’s GRAMMY Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the
American musical where it’s never gone before. This high-octane show
includes wildly popular songs from Green Day’s album American Idiot and
their follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world.
The three friends decide to flee the constraints of their hometown for
the thrills of city life, but plans are quickly estranged when Will
realizes he must stay behind to attend to familial responsibilities,
Tunny enters the armed forces, 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.
