Words cannot express how excited I am that Green Day’s music is coming to Broadway!
“American Idiot” will make its debut at the St. James Theater in New York on April 20. According to the Los Angeles Times, the musical, “follows the journey of the protagonist Johnny, a modern-day Christ figure who travels from a suburban nowhere to the big city, where he must choose between love, drugs and other existential dilemmas. The story also follows a character to the Middle East.” It was co-written by Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day.
I was already planning a trip to NYC in late spring/early summer, and this just provides a little extra incentive.
So, what do you think: Is this our generation’s response to “Mamma Mia“, or do you think Green Day should stick to the airwaves and concert stages and leave Broadway alone?
