Featuring songs from the Grammy Award winning multi-platinum album of the same name and its follow-up album release ‘21st Century Breakdown’, American Idiot tells the story of Johnny, Tunny and Will navigating a post-9/11 world and their journeys trying to break free from suburbia.

Music Theatre Guild Award nominated director Scott Bradley (Rock of Ages, Hairspray) explores the journey of the three young boys as they seek adventure and fulfilment beyond the constraints of their small-town lives through the music and lyrics of American Idiot.

“Theatrical are amazing to work with. It’s a joy to watch close friends and connections grow and foster, and it really reflects on stage and in the show we are doing,” says Scott.

The all-out rock opera features the entire tracklist of Green Day’s iconic album American Idiot, including the titular song ‘American Idiot’, ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’, ‘21 Guns’ and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, amongst other fan favourites.

Beyond American Idiot’s entertaining and nostalgic 2000s rock hits, the show explores themes of youth angst, broken relationships, love and loss.
