AMERICAN IDIOT Comes to the Paramount Theatre, 6/5-10
AMERICAN IDIOT will make its Seattle premiere on June 5 at Seattle's Paramount Theatre as part of the KeyBank Broadway at The Paramount series. Tickets are now on sale and are available on-line at stgpresents.org, tickets.com, and select Ticketmaster locations. Tickets are also available by calling 877-STG-4TIX (784-4849) or in person at The Paramount Theatre Box Office (Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm).
As well, pit seats will be available two hours before curtain for $28 each, cash only. Once sold out, a limited number of Student Rush seats will be sold for $28 each, also cash only.
AMERICAN IDIOT, a 2010 Tony Award®-nominated Best Musical and 2010 Grammy Award winner for Best Musical Show Album, features the music of Green Day with the lyrics of its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. The book is by Armstrong and Michael Mayer and direction is by Tony Award®-winner Mayer ("Spring Awakening").
The acclaimed creative team also includes choreography by Olivier Award-winner Steven Hoggett ("Black Watch"), and music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom Kitt ("Next to Normal"). The Tony Award®-winning scenic design by Christine Jones and the Tony Award®-winning lighting design by Kevin Adams will also be featured in the tour.
Nominated for three Tony Awards®, AMERICAN IDIOT is the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9-11 world. Through incredible spectacle, thrilling performances and with the hope embodied by a new generation, AMERICAN IDIOT has given audiences the time of their lives night after night since premiering on tour in Toronto in December 2011.
"Since its inception, audiences have been surprised by the emotional journey the show takes them on, told almost exclusively through Green Day's songs, including many they are already familiar with and love," said Tom Hulce, producer. "This is such a potent time for our country and the search of our characters for what to believe in is gorgeously celebrated through Billie Joe and Green Day's wonderfully lush score," he added.
AMERICAN IDIOT will be at Seattle's Paramount Theatre for eight performances.
