[newsImage]042010_opening night.jpg[/newsImage]Tonight at 7:30pm EST, Green Day's musical, American Idiot, officially opens at the St. James Theater on Broadway after about a month of preview performances began.

American Idiot had its world premiere in September of 2009 at the Berkeley Rep Theater in California and got great reviews such as this one from SFist.com.
The cast, led by Tony-winner John Gallagher Jr., is phenomenal and the physicality they bring to the show and Steven Hoggett's punk-esque choreography deserves a lot of praise. The sets, lighting, video and projection design are all amazing, creating a huge, urban jungle gym of concrete platforms, flat-screen TVs, and ad-plastered walls that keep every scene visually alive.
