Green Day’s American Idiot

AMERICAN IDIOT

Music by Green Day
Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong
Book by Billie Joe Armstrong & Michael Mayer
Directed by Josh Short
Choreography by Ali Kenner Brodsky
Music Direction by Milly Massey

Slinging razor guitars, thundering drums, and an anti-hero named Johnny. Not the prelude of typical entries in the canon of musical theatre. But these elements herald a groundbreaking American musical all the same: with the burning passion of characters who yearn for something more, songs bursting with emotion, and a story that dares you to feel and celebrate and hope.

The music of Green Day and the lyrics of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong captured the zeitgeist of a generation with its Grammy Award®-winning multi-platinum album. The Wilbury Theatre Group production of AMERICAN IDIOT puts those raw emotions front and center in a highly theatrical and thoroughly satisfying rock opera that burns up the stage.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and caretakers who make our downtown parks come alive — the superhuman ones who share these spaces with their kids and the feathered, furry, scaly, and tiny ones who call them home. Cheers to the moms guiding little feet, the ducks leading their ducklings, the geese keeping their goslings in line, and even the bugs doing their part to keep the ecosystem thriving. You all make these parks a little brighter.

Happy Mother’s Day!
