Three lifelong friends are forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia in American Idiot, the smash Broadway hit based on Green Day's multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning album of the same name. Now director Marco Gomez, musical director Chris Raymond and choreographer Angela Todaro, the team behind recent critically acclaimed productions of Young Frankenstein and Jesus Christ Superstar, bring this explosive, iconic story to the DOMA stage beginning June 5 at the MET Theatre.
Tony Award-nominated for best musical and a Grammy Award winner for best musical show album, American Idiot features the music of Green Day with lyrics by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong and a book by Armstrong and Michael Mayer. Songs include chart toppers "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday" and the blockbuster title track, "American Idiot." DOMA has created a reputation for bringing large-scale musicals to the small intimate stage at Hollywood's MET Theatre. With American Idiot, DOMA continues that tradition, offering up a 25-member ensemble and live band. "Our production will be a unique, concert-style experience, with a raised set, projections, lasers, choreography to the max, a terrific cast made up of DOMA veterans and a band that will totally rock," says Gomez. Jess Ford (title role in DOMA's The Who's Tommy) stars as Johnny, with Chris Kerrigan (Avenue Q, title role in Jekyll & Hyde, The Who's Tommy) as Tunny; Wesley Moran (Jesus Christ Superstar, Young Frankenstein) as Will; Andrew Diego (Jesus Christ Superstar, Dorian's Descent) as St. Jimmy; Jackee Bianchi (Jesus Christ Superstar) as Heather; Renee Cohen (Jesus Christ Superstar) as Whatsername; and Cassandra Nuss (Jekyll & Hyde, Dorian's Descent) as Extraordinary Girl. The ensemble, most of them also DOMA regulars, includes Alex Allen, Sandra Diana Cantu, Tony Cellucci, Kevin Corsini, EverJohn Feliciano, Blair Grotbeck, Lillian Mansala, Angeline Mirenda, Johnny Ortiz, Nohely Quiroz, Michael Restaino, Brittany Rodin, Dekontee Tucrkile, Lauren Tyni, Ty West and Anthony D.
