Straz Center to Welcome AMERICAN IDIOT, 5/2013
American Idiot, Green Day's explosive Broadway hit called "wonderfully raucous" and "emotionally charged" by the New York Times, will play the Straz Center in Tampa from May 17-19, 2013.
Winner of two 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 gave Broadway audiences the time of their lives night after night during its run at the St. James Theatre from March 2010 to April 2011.
American Idiot features the lyrics of Green Day's lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, who is married to Minnesotan Adrienne 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.
