Overall, I thought it was a good show, especially if you like Green Day's music. However, the story was lacking. The characters needed further development and there needed to be more dialogue. The music, lighting, and choreographing were spectacular, but the story was lacking. The songs were enough to carry the idea of what was going on, but not to create memorable and relatable characters.

by NFM1 on 3/4/12Peabody Opera House - St. LouisAn amazing connection between the songs of Green Day and a story involving three friends who take separate paths and through their struggles in navigating a confusing world return to where they started.
Rating: 5 out of 5 'American Idiot' is a compelling rock opera
by glhartwig on 3/4/12Peabody Opera House - St. LouisGreen Day's music transitions effortlessly from album to stage in "American Idiot." Minimal dialogue is used to serve as timestamps, and the songs effectively tell the stories of three young men on quests to make something of their lives. Beautifully staged.

Rating: 5 out of 5 What a performance!
by HeartGranade on 12/24/11The Stanley - UticaWhen I heard that American Idiot was coming to Utica, New York, I wasted no time in purchasing the tickets. I am so thankful I did! Everything was done right from the music, to the dancing, to the costumes, to the extravagant set. I absolutely adored "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." I found it interesting that the song is about being all alone, but at the last chorus the entire company sings along with the main character. It is something to think about...I wish the show could play every night. I would be right there in the audience rocking out loud :D

by branderz on 12/23/11The Stanley - UticaLoved everything accept for the casting of St.Jimmy. He was too flamboyant for the character I think, and his singing was not good, to say the least. Get a new St.Jimmy and it would have been a perfect show.
