I saw American Idiot (Broadway) on 03/29/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 4-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “American Idiot was a unique theatre experience. ”

I had a pretty good time and left the show feeling energetic and happy. I'd describe the show as vibrant, loud, and touching. Stark sands was a highlight of the show because his voice shoots through the roof.. If this were a movie, I'd rate it R. I would recommend this show to Green Day fans but not to kids.

I saw this show because I really love Green Day. I would see it again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was awesome and the seats were comfy.

I was shocked at how well Green Day's music worked on stage - with the different lead and ensemble tracks. I however think that more dialogue could help connect some of the songs to the storyline. The cast was high energy and very kind after the show.
