Green Day / Billie Joe Armstrong / Michael Mayer
Green Day's American Idiot
The unique space of the Small Scene will see an extraordinary event – the Czech premiere of the American Idiot, a musical created to the eponymous album of Green Day, an American punk-rock band.
Three young men make an effort to escape from the boring stereotype of suburban life, but each of them goes in a different direction – where will they end at the beginning of the 21st century? In the unusual semi-concert layout of the auditorium you can look forward to the popular hits such as American Idiot, 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy and many others, all performed by the young members of the DJKT musical company and directed by the respected American director Steve Josephson. Due to the popularity of the original songs we are staging the musical in English with Czech subtitles.
