Why see American Idiot?
American Idiot follows working-class characters from the suburbs to the city to the Middle East, as they seek redemption in a world filled with frustration.
This high-octane show features every track from the album, plus several new tunes from Green Day’s newest release, 21st Century Breakdown. With an on-stage band and a cast of 19, American Idiot will take you on an exhilarating journey borne along by Green Day’s electrifying songs.
iPlease note: This is not a Green Day concert - this is the stage version of American Idiot developed by Green Day and Michael Mayer. Although the band will not appear on stage, the show will definitely rock.

Blown Away !
The show is terrific, vibrant, alive and kicking. The set design is amazing, lighting and sound are all top notch. But it's GREEN DAY's Music and the talented cast's endless energey that brings this show to another level. I cannot say enough about Tony Vincent, Stark Sands and the rest of the amazingly talented cast. But it is John Gallagher Jr who turns in a Star making performance. This man is an endless bundle of talent. He is truly awesome and has a long, long career ahead of him. He was great in SPRING AWAKENING and won the TONY for his terrific performance. But I feel, this time around, he was truly deserving of a TONY nomination. I have seen the show 4 times now, because he draws me back. All I can say is , Go See it! It will ROCK you!! ... Read more

Fans from Boston
Hard to believe I have seen American Idiot on Broadway with Billie Joe Armstrong -- four times now -- as I am from Boston! I have taken my family, husband, sons and last weekend, January 30 -- right before the "monster snow storm" -- I ventured again to New York City with five friends just to see the show. It is not too often you get to see a world class rock star perform with top Broadway performers up close and personal. And, that is what you get when you go to the St. James Theatre to see the show. It is outstanding. Everyone in the show pours their heart and soul into their performances -- song arrangements, harmonizing etc., band, choreography, modern set design -- all outstanding. I only hope this review can be conveyed to every individual in the cast. THANK YOU for a job well done, a great experience. I hope to see it again sometime soon -- although many trips from Boston to NYC are starting to add up! Well worth it though! Billie Joe Armstrong keep up the genius work. ... Read more
