Called "wonderfully raucous and emotionally charged" by The New York Times, AMERICAN IDIOT tells
the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia.
Their quest for meaning in a post 9-11 world leads them on an exhilarating journey.

Based on Green Day's GRAMMY® Award winning American Idiot, Billie Joe Armstrong and the band
collaborate with one of the theatre's most acclaimed creative teams, led by the Tony Award® winning director Michael Mayer, Pulitzer Prize and 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.

The show features Tony Award-winning scenic design by Christine Jones (Spring Awakening),
costume design by Baryshnikov fellow Andrea Lauer (The Butcher of Baraboo), Tony Award?winning
lighting design by Kevin Adams (Hair), Sound design by Olivier and Obie Award-winner Brian Ronan
(Cabaret), as well as video design by Darrel Maloney.

Festival Theatre audiences last saw GUYS AND DOLLS in 2017. Like this current production, that production was also Directed and Choreographed by Donna Feore. Audience members who had the opportunity to see the previous production will undoubtedly notice delightful similarities between the two. There are some familiar costumes and set pieces, the (magnificent) opening 'Runyonland' number feels almost identical, and there are a few familiar faces on stage from back in 2017 as well. It’s clear Feore was unafraid to lean into the familiar in an ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ sort of way, but this current production still feels like a fresh new take on the classic show. It’s always so wonderful to see Feore reinvent a show for the Festival Theatre stage. This time, we get to see her tackle a show she has done before through new eyes, with a (mostly) new cast of leads. The result is a boisterously fun night at the theatre.
