About
A critical smash on Broadway and in London, the two-time Tony Award® winning hit musical AMERICAN IDIOT tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Based on Green Day’s GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum album and featuring the hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the blockbuster title track, AMERICAN IDIOT boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. With direction by Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), choreography by Steven Hoggett (Once) and orchestrations and arrangements by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), the result is an experience Charles Isherwood of The New York Times declares “thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I’ve seen this year!”

by rockmom55 on 5/22/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesI saw this show when it opened in NYC in 2010... It was incredible! Fabulous! I was so excited to see it again...I could tell by the beginning of the first song that the energy was no there! The singing was weak and they cut corners on the production...especially the 'Dreaming' sequence...My daughter and I both love the show...but did not care for this production.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Thoroughly enjoyable!
by momofaGreenDayfan on 5/22/14California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San BernardinoI have to admit, we bought tickets for this show for my teenage son who is a big fan of Green Day. I love musical theater, so why not marry the two? I'd read enough reviews and heard enough snippets from the show on YouTube to know I'd probably enjoy it. I was blown away by the strength of the cast and the staging. The play was very well acted, all of the singing was spot on, and the onstage band rocked. They really brought the Green Day music to life in a way that is easily missed on the radio. The characters--including the supporting characters--were well developed. The music combined with the singing and acting told a comprehensive and engaging story about a generation who have been asked to navigate and literally fight their way through the post-cold war society that we've created for them. Each character arc was engaging and left me wanting to see the play again.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Definitely leaves a mark.
by AbductedClarity on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesIt took a couple minutes to adjust to the unorthadox nature of the musical. Most of the aspects of it that are very different from other musicals are completely intentional and necissary to the theme. Although I did find some of the choreography to be lacking, I really embraced the message of the messed up, broken youth that's been manifested because of societal, media corruption. It shows a metamorphosis from a rebellious and lost group of teens, to a bunch of young adults that realize the reality of the world they have to live in. I've always been a fan of Green Day, and I think they did a great job in capturing some of the darker sides of reality...drug addiction, lost love, and the chaos harbored in trying to find a way to get through this world. I appreciated that there was very little dialogue and was more focussed on artistically expressing the message through the music. I certainly reccommend this musical. :)

Rating: 3 out of 5 Could Have Been Better
by AlohaGirl111 on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesJust not what I expected. I had heard a lot of great things about this musical. It did not live up to the hype. We actually left early. Maybe it was just the cast but the play seemed to drag on and on. Also the male cast members did not nail the songs. The lyrics were lost on these singers.
Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los Angeles This show is incredible. Absolutely incredible. It translates Green Days album into a poignant story about the world we live in and the youth growing up in it. The entire production from dancing, to singing, to the set, and the story are so amazing. P.S. don't run out after the curtain drops. That would be a mistake.
Rating: 5 out of 5 American Idiot the musical was extraordinary!!!!
by XBOMB on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesI am a great fan of Greenday, so I did not know if the musical would be able to do it justice, but this was one awesome show!!! I would go again and again. I also recommend watching the American Idiot --the making of the musical documentary on netflix. It really shows us how all of this came together and the inportance that the band took in making sure their art came across. Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!
Rating: 1 out of 5 Not impressed
by Andreole on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesA lover of musical theater and a fan of Green Day, I was terribly disappointed by this show. Lacking dialog, it was difficult to figure out the story line. The choreography, which consisted mostly of a lot of head-banging, was less-than-inspired. This cast was fine and The Pantages theater was okay (although the sound could be a bit better). Just wish it had been a better show.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Good show but not in my top 10
by Larkspur62 on 5/21/14Pantages Theatre - Los AngelesIt was a good show with good music but it will not be in my top 10. Didn't really know what I was signing up for and am a little old for this type of show.
