During the telecast, those in the New York area were also treated to a TV spot commercial promoting the upcoming Broadway production of AMERICAN IDIOT. Watch the commercial below!

AMERICAN IDIOT follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post 9/11 world, borne along byGreen Day's electrifying score. This high-octane show includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot, as well as several songs from the band's three-time GRAMMY®-nominated new release, 21st Century Breakdown ("Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals," "Best Rock Song" and "Best Rock Album".)

The show features scenic design by Tony-nominee Christine Jones (Spring Awakening), costume design by Baryshnikov fellow Andrea Lauer (The Butcher of Baraboo), lighting design by two time Tony-winner Kevin Adams (Hair), Sound design by Obie Award-winner Brian Ronan (Cabaret), as well as video design by Darrel Maloney.
