Expires: January 18, 2026

About the Project

Directed & Choreographed by Troy Wageman, with Music Direction by Will Sanders, Associate Director - Matt Longmire, Associate Choreographer - Christina Naficy, Vocal Director - Shawna Avinger

Music by Green Day, Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong, Book by Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Mayer
Fueled by the explosive energy of Green Day’s Grammy Award–winning album, American Idiot is a high-octane rock musical that follows three friends as they navigate the disillusionment and confusion of post-9/11 America. With an electrifying score and raw, urgent storytelling, the show captures the voice of a generation searching for meaning in a media-saturated, war-torn world. Visually striking and emotionally charged, this production fuses live music, movement, and multimedia in a unique theatrical experience that will shake you to your core.
