Winner of two Tony Awards, "American Idiot" is the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post-9/11 world. The musical features the hits "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday" and the blockbuster title track "American Idiot" from Green Day’s 2004 Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum album. Also included in the score are several songs from Green Day’s 2009 release "21st Century Breakdown," and the unreleased "When It's Time."

"American Idiot" opened on Broadway in April 2010 to overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Charles Isherwood of the New York Times calling the show "the most adventurous musical to brave Broadway in the past decade" and the Toronto Star naming it "the first great musical of the 21st century."
