"A thrillingly raucous and gorgeously wrought Broadway musical. A true rock opera … the music is thrilling: charged with urgency, rich in memorable melody and propulsive rhythms. From the moment the curtain rises on a panorama of baleful youngsters it’s clear that these kids are going to make themselves at home, even if it means tearing up the place in the process."

Slinging razor guitars, thundering drums, and an anti-hero named Johnny. Not the prelude of typical entries in the canon of musical theatre. But these elements herald a groundbreaking American musical all the same: with the burning passion of characters who yearn for something more, songs bursting with emotion, and a story that dares you to feel and celebrate and hope.
The music of Green Day and the lyrics of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong captured the zeitgeist of a generation with its Grammy Award®-winning multi-platinum album. The Wilbury Theatre Group production of AMERICAN IDIOT puts those raw emotions front and center in a highly theatrical and thoroughly satisfying rock opera that burns up the stage.
