American Idiot Tickets
Arts Theatre
American Idiot is the Grammy award-winning musical by Green Day that follows a group of boyhood friends wanting to escape the suburbs after 9/11. Starring X Factor’s Amelia Lily and including hits such as ‘American Idiot’, ‘Jesus of Suburbia’, ‘Holiday’, and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, American Idiot joins Rent and Spring Awakening in the history of great rock musicals.
American Idiot is the energetic musical, based on Green Day’s 2004 concept album of the same name, which follows a group of boyhood friends as they make plans to change their lives. Brought to life with a book by Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) and Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) the show demands its place alongside Rent and Spring Awakening in the hall-of-fame of angsty rock musicals.
Aaron Sidwell (Loserville: The Musical) heads the cast as the disaffected Johnny, who convinces his friends Tunny and Will to move to the city in an attempt to escape the dead-end lives they have been handed. Their plans quickly disintegrate and the friends find themselves in the wake of 9/11, separated by fatherhood, war, and drug abuse. American Idiot fractures into three separate stories of fractured lives in a fractured age and does so with dynamic and angry urgency.
The Grammy award-winning score features the best of Green Day, including ‘American Idiot’, ‘Jesus of Suburbia’, ‘Holiday’, and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’. American Idiot is however the jukebox musical with a message, and Billie Joe Armstrong declares himself as a forceful voice of his generation. The big ideas and big music are all squeezed into the intimate Arts Theatre which means every performance packs the punch of a high octane rock gig.
Joining Aaron Sidwell is Alexis Gerred as Tunny, Steve Rushton as Will, and X Factor star Amelia Lily makes her West End debut as Whatsername, a mysterious woman who steals Johnny’s heart and catches his imagination.
American Idiot is playing at the Arts Theatre until 22nd November 2015.
