The Road Company is excited to present this highly anticipated addition to its 2016 season: Green Day’s American Idiot. This Grammy Award-winning musical tells the story of three friends in a post-911 world who make plans to flee their monotonous lives in suburbia. When they are faced with adult responsibility the three young men all choose different paths. Green Day’s music articulates the struggle that many young Americans were facing after that fateful day.
This musical follows three different paths of three young men (and most young people) post-911 and their journey to adulthood. Aside from the actors on stage, modern technology plays a huge role in telling the story of American Idiot. The set consists of a multitude of television screens to reflect the changes in the new world to show audiences the hardship of many in a new and exciting way.
Green Day’s American Idiot opened on Broadway on April 20, 2010 where it received a Tony nomination for best musical. This story has received widespread acclaim and since its closing has had productions performed all across the world. Lauri Hudson directs the Road Company’s production of this coming of age musical.
