American Idiot

A critical smash on Broadway & in London, Green Day’s punk rock musical American Idiot is to play the Arts Theatre, London in 2015.  The two-time Tony Award® winning hit musical American Idiot is based on Green Day’s GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum album, American Idiot, and boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before.

The New York Times declared it an experience that is “thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical!”

The story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9-11 world, AMERICAN IDIOT features the music of Green Day with the lyrics of its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. The book is by Armstrong and Michael Mayer and direction is by Tony Award®-winner Mayer (“Spring Awakening”). Its hit songs include “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the blockbuster title track “American Idiot” from Green Day’s 2004 Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum album. Also included are several songs from Green Day’s 2009 release “21st Century Breakdown,” and an unreleased love song, “When It’s Time.”
