AMERICAN IDIOT Cast and Green Day Set for Jets Opener, 9/13

According to the Associated Press, cast members from American Idiot will be joining Green Day to perform at the New York Jets season opener on September 13. The performance will take place at half-time at New Meadowlands Stadium and will include the song 'Last of the American Girls'.

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 by Green 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 Grammy-nominated new release, 21st Century Breakdown.

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.

American Idiot is playing at the St. James Theatre. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.americanidiotonbroadway.com
