The play, adapted by Rolin Jones (“The Jammer”) and directed by Jackson Gay, centers on a band from Liverpool dealing with romance and the music industry in London. The project marks a return to theater for Mr. Armstrong, who was a key creative force behind the 2010 Broadway musical “American Idiot,” which was based on Green Day songs, and who is resuming a band tour this month after treatment for substance abuse.
