What better way to celebrate the 250th\u00a0anniversary 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\u2019s never gone before. This high-octane scorcher includes every song from Green Day\u2019s album,\u00a0American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release,\u00a021st\u00a0Century Breakdown.<\/p>\n
A high-concept rock opera,\u00a0American Idiot\u00a0explores 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.<\/p>\n
\u201ca 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\u2019ve seen on Broadway.\u201d \u2013 The New York Times.<\/p>\n
