Upon hearing that Green Day's album, American Idiot would be made into a musical, it was difficult for those familiar with the music to avoid speculating on how it would translate to the stage. I was fortunate enough to attend the first and second preview performances and find out for myself. I'm not only familiar with the American Idiot album; I've been a Green Day fan for well over 15 years. I greatly admire and respect American Idiot as a work of art, an inspirational and emotional rant, and some fun music to dance to. However, I've attempted to write as unbiased a review as possible for someone in my situation.
