BAND TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA IN SUPPORT OF GREEN DAY ¡UNO!, GREEN DAY ¡DOS!, AND, GREEN DAY ¡TRÉ! ALBUM TRILOGY TO BE RELEASED FROM SEPTEMBER 2012 TO JANUARY 2013
IDIOT CLUB FAN CLUB PRESALE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 12TH AT 10AM LOCAL VENUE TIME
"Green Day's American Idiot" kicked off a two-night run at the University at Buffalo's Center for the Art's Mainstage Theatre on Saturday. The full house was treated to an epic tale told in the parlance of punk rock and power-ballads, with brilliantly violent choreography, shimmering live sound, and standout performances, particularly from lead Alex Nee.
The show - based on the work of Californian punk band Green Day and, in particular, that band's protest-fueled rock-opera "American Idiot" - is set in the George W. Bush years and follows the path of three late-teen friends as they struggle to find meaning amid suburban ennui and urban despair. The storyline, from the book based on the lyrics of Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, with the help of director Michael Mayer, follows the classic "tramps like us were born to run" theme.
Nee's Johnny - the Billy Joe Armstrong figure, in essence - is a young man filled with rage, the product of a broken home and an even more badly damaged culture. Music offers him his only hope amid a barrage of cultural images that lead to a confused disenfranchisement.
