Green Day's American Idiot: The Musical to debut in September

A musical production based on Green Day's 2004 album, American Idiot will premiere in September at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in Berkeley, California. The musical is the result of a creative partnership between Green Day and Tony Award-winning producer Michael Mayer.

The show will likely feature an emsemble of 19 performers playing characters from the album like Jesus of Suburbia, Whatshername and St. Jimmy. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said, "When people see it, it’s going to be my wildest dream.”

According to this report, the production is scheduled to run September 4 through October 11. Green Day will release their first studio album since American Idiot later this spring. 21st Century Breakdown is slated to be released May 15.
