MUSIC & LYRICS by Green Day
CENTRAL FLORIDA PREMIERE OF THE BROADWAY MUSICAL!
Green Day's powerhouse album is brought to life in this electric-rock musical of youthful disillusion. The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical Green Day's American Idiot, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day's album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Johnny, Tunny, and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the storyline.
PG-13: Parents need to know that there are four-letter words and a few drug and alcohol references that make contextual sense. Mileage will vary, but there's nothing to worry about for most literate, sophisticated older teenagers.
Green Day's American Idiot is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
Location
Originally planned as an off-site production, American Idiot will be held at our recently-renovated space at Theater West End (115 West 1st Street, Sanford). As originally announced, this production remains a fully-immersive production, guests seated at socially-distanced tables, drinks and concessions for purchase, and upgraded VIP tables available. With fewer tables in our venue, guests will have an even more exclusive experience!
Seating
Seats sold by the table, and can accommodate groups of 2 or 4. Tables purchased in the same checkout will be placed together. To be sat adjacent to a different party (not in your order), please specify their name when placing your order.
FAQs
I’ve been to your theater…How will the seating work?
Things are changing! We’re removing our uncomfortable theater-style chairs for a whole new experience. Now, guests will sit at assigned tables and chairs (think cabaret or dinner theater).
Is the new seating a permanent change?
We will keep our new style of seating through 2021. It allows us to be more flexible and continue to offer a safe place for theater-goers.
How will seating be assigned?
Tables are assigned in advance, based on these 3 criteria… First, our VIP tables are assigned to those that purchase this upgraded experience. Second, our season subscribers. Third, individual ticket holders, based on the initial time of purchase. You will be shown to your assigned seats on the day of the performance.
