Green Day‘s 2007 Grammy Award-winning record American Idiot is being written into a musical by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and “Spring Awakening” director Michael Mayer.
The record, which sold more than 12 million copies, is described as “a nihilistic coming-of-age story drenched in post-9/11 paranoia.”
“American Idiot follows disaffected contemporary American Everykid Jesus of Suburbia as he morphs into violent, drug-dealing alter-ego St. Jimmy and falls for anarchist girlfriend Whatsername.”
This could go so many different ways!
