The Broadway cast of AMERICAN IDIOT performed with Green Day on the band's two-time GRAMMY nominated song "21 Guns" on Music's Biggest Night. The 52ND Annual Grammy Awards took place live on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and were broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 8-11:30pm (ET/PT). On December 22, 2009, Reprise Records released a new version of the hit single "21 Guns," produced by Billie Joe Armstrong and performed by the cast of AMERICAN IDIOT and Green Day.

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".)

Green Day won two GRAMMY® Awards for the groundbreaking rock opera American Idiot, which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Now Billie Joe Armstrong and the band collaborate with one of the theatre's most acclaimed creative teams, led by the Tony Award-winning director of Spring Awakening, Michael Mayer, two-time Tony Award-winning composer and orchestrator Tom Kitt, and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett, to bring this explosive, iconic album to the stage.

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. The Music Director is Carmel Dean.

AMERICAN IDIOT will be produced on Broadway in association with Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
