American Idiot
DATE: September 5, 2012
Alternative rock meets Broadway showbiz when Green Day’s revolutionary album American Idiot hits the IU Auditorium stage in the award-winning production of the same name. The musical challenges shallow, media-saturated culture and inspires youth to explore life outside of suburbia.

In June of 2008, Green Day collaborated with Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer to bring to life the fluid narrative embedded in the album.

The story follows three lifelong friends, Johnny, Will, and Tunny, forced to choose between leaving home to chase dreams and staying in suburbia where they have responsibilities to uphold. Their quest for true meaning in a post-September 11 world leads them on an exhilarating theatrical journey.

Since its debut at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in New York City, American Idiot has won two Tony Awards and a Grammy. The musical features the hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday,” and the title track from the 2004 American Idiot album. The score also includes several songs from Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning 2009 release 21st Century Breakdown, including “21 Guns” and an unreleased love song, “When It’s Time.” Finally, the beloved hit single, “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” befittingly ends the musical. Brilliantly pieced together, the songs unfold the fluid narrative that challenges obstacles facing the 21st-century youth and offers hope that there is no one right way to be an American.
