Shadowbox snags ‘American Idiot’
Shadowbox Live has snapped up the rights to become the first central Ohio troupe to produce American Idiot, the Green Day rock musical.
The company will present the show from Feb. 12 to April 26 in its Brewery District space, 503 S. Front St.
The musical, about three working-class guys struggling with life in post-9/11 America, was adapted from the 2004 album by Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, and author-director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening).
It includes songs from the Green Day album 21st Century Breakdown, too.
Two years ago, a touring production of American Idiot played the Palace Theatre in Columbus.
