Green Day's American Idiot (Chicago) Tickets

The plot line was hard to follow. We brought my grandson, which was a mistake. He is a true fan of green days music, but the actual story had him squiming in the seat. My husband also had a hard time following the plot as well. While i got the plot, i wish there would have been more dialogue instead of so much symbolism. The music was good, but the band was quite loud, to the point where it was hard to follow the lyrics. I thought the performers did well though. Overall i would only give it 2 stars.

Music was great! I didn't care for the acting or dancing. Also, unless you already know Green Day's back story (which I didn't) the story line is very hard to follow. Don't get me wrong, I got the gist of it, but overall I still walked away a bit confused.

I'm not a huge Green Day fan, although I do like their more popular songs, but loved the show. Lot's of talent. Parents be aware that in my opinion it is not suitable for children under 17.

They've managed to combine an unforgettable visual story with the genius of Green Day's American Idiot soundtrack, for an amazing and stunning result. Like the first time you saw Hair, you won't soon forget this show. It's too bad they are only in town for one week, because I would love to go back and see it again.

It's a good show for Green Day fans. Not much to it, other than the music of Green Day. If you're a fan, you'll know all of the music, and the story (what there is) is easy to follow. If you're not a fan of the band, this isn't a show for you.

I took my bf who did not want to go. He said it was an excellent show. I would go see it again. Powerful and so much to take in I have to see what all I missed.

Great time! Saw it in New York twice and just saw in Chicago this time. Still as great!

im not a big theatre personbut i loved it.i was singing along the whole time.

Had me excited from the moment it started, incredible performance!

The music is great, and the cast is extraordinarily talented. I've watched the lead, Alex Nee, develop in roles at Northwestern U., and it is wonderful to see him in the kind of starring role that he deserves. But ... (there is a but) this show is in need of a plot and dialogue. This show could have been the "Rent" for this generation, but it needs more plot and character development.

I loved the music, the full use of the stage in all three dimensions, and the engaging story.

Very untraditional! Green Day definitely meant to target its young fan base to come out and see it! If you are a fan of anarchy or Green Day in general, this is definitely a MUST SEE! I loved every minute of it!

This was a great performance! I would love to see it again!

The title says it all. I could not tell whatbthecshowcwas about, assuming it was about anything. It was impossible to understand any of the lyrics. If there were any melodies, it was impossible to hear them over the relentless hammering percussion. The only thing that saved it from being a total ripoff were the cute boys in their underwear.

Its hard to pick up the story for the first few songs, but otherwise you understand what's going on. There are some really raunchy scenes that really play into the purpose of both American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown albums. It was hard to find the flaws because I'm such a fan.

Great music and experience! We are glad we went. Check it out.

What an incredible show. When my son was eight years old, we took him to see Green Day's American Idiot tour. So, yes, eight years later there was a great deal of anxious anticipation for this show. We were NOT disappointed! In fact, we hope they make a movie so we can see it again and again! (This, unlike Les Mis, would actually work!) Bottom line: If you love this music, you will love seeing it brought to life in this show!

Play was great! Best part was the opening of Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Also, 90 minutes, with no intermission was the way to go!

Holy poop mother of god I just died oh my Jesus I cried so much I love this ug I love Chicago I love theater I feel like a born again thespian AHHHHHHHHHH! GREEN DAY AMERICAN IDIOT I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!....... And then, she took a breath.

My fiance and I went as date night and we both thoroughly enjoyed the show, he being a Green Day fan, and me being a musical fan. I knew some of the songs, but not all, but it wasn't necessary to know all the music in order to enjoy the show. I do not recommend for families or children, the wardrobe is risque as well as the language and content (ie sex and drugs) so not for any youngsters.
