The opening film April 25 will be the West Coast premiere of "Broadway Idiot," a documentary that follows the punk band Green Day from a concert at Madison Square Garden to the Broadway premiere of "American Idiot." That musical is based on the band's Grammy-winning album of the same name. The documentary, directed by Doug Hamilton, was filmed over four years with direct access to the band, including lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. Cast and crew are expected to attend the film.
