If you are in the Berkeley, California area, or will be in the next month and a half, be sure to check out punk-rock band, Green Day's newest project - a punk-rock musical adaptation of their 2004 album, American Idiot. This world premier performance - which has already been extended twice - is being held at the beautiful Berkeley Repertory Theatre, where you can also purchase tickets.
The show, also called American Idiot, a one act piece featuring an live rock band on stage, follows the lives of three post-high school aged friends who want out of their humdrum lives in a small town and to experience life in an urban metropolis. A variety of Gothamesque problem arise, with various characters dealing with pregnancy, drugs, war deployment, loneliness, dreams, and immaturity. The cast is young and fresh with various members having experience on Broadway and with touring shows.
While the look may scream "RENT," the vibe is an electric guitar resonating about life many of us can actually relate to. Check out this amazing show while you still can in it's infancy before it becomes Broadway's next big thing!
