Synopsis

What better way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? This two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. This high-octane scorcher includes every song from Green Day's album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.

A high-concept rock opera, AMERICAN IDIOT explores disillusionment, consumerism, and the manipulation of the media and government through a trio of friends struggling to find meaning in a world they barely recognize. "a pulsating portrait of wasted youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions [only] to transcend them through the power of its music and the artistry of its execution, the show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I've seen on Broadway” – The New York Times.

AMERICAN IDIOT is professionally licensed by Music Theatre International.

A six-show season pass is also available. Learn about the benefits here.
