In 2004, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool, and Mike Dirnt, better known as Green Day, released AMERICAN IDIOT, considered by many to be one of the best records of the first decade of the twenty-first century. An unblinking examination of life during the post-9/11 Bush era, AMERICAN IDIOT unleashed a breathtaking suite of songs that held nothing back; among its breakout tunes were “Jesus of Suburbia,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends.” Green Day has now collaborated with Tony Award–winning director Michael Mayer — as well as Tony Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning composer and orchestrator Tom Kitt (NEXT TO NORMAL), Olivier Award–winning choreographer Steven Hoggett (BLACK WATCH), and Tony-winning actor John Gallagher Jr. (SPRING AWAKENING) — to bring AMERICAN IDIOT to the stage, where it is currently dazzling audiences at the St. James Theater on Broadway.
