BWW Reviews: Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT Musical Rocks Costa Mesa
by Michael L. Quintos
- Jun 6, 2012
While watching the super-charged, though slightly frustrating Tony-nominated alt-rock musical AMERICAN IDIOT--whose national touring company recently spent a brief week at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, CA--one can't help but feel genuinely entertained by the spectacle of it all, yet many (myself among them) may find themselves wondering: well, we know we're watching something awesome... but WTF is actually happening? More rock concert than your typical Broadway musical, AMERICAN IDIOT succeeds not as a complete musical stage play but rather as a visually-enhanced showcase for its rousing Green Day score and the staggeringly talented cast tasked to perform it.
BWW Reviews: AMERICAN IDIOT at the Paramount Theatre

Filled with stunning performances, inventive staging and poetic songs the show went from one I was mildly curious about to breathtaking evening.
