Green Day's American Idiot UK Tour returns to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the award-winning album.
Following two critically acclaimed West End runs and a sell-out UK Tour, Green Day's explosive rock musical American Idiot returns to mark the show's 10th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the Grammy Award winning original album.
Green Day's American Idiot the musical is the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9-11 world. Winner of two Tony Awards® and the 2010 Grammy Award winner for Best Musical Show Album, American Idiot premiered at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in September 2009, moving onto a critically acclaimed Broadway run in April 2010.
Its hit songs include “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 are several songs from Green Day’s 2009 release “21st Century Breakdown,” and an unreleased love song, “When It’s Time.”
