It began as a comeback album of sorts. After getting a little soft and using more and more acoustic guitars, Green Day wasn’t nearly as popular since their major label debut “Dookie.” Nearly 10 years later, they were at a crossroads. “American Idiot,” the bands first concept album, was released with moderate expectations. It eclipsed those expectations. The record spawned multiple Grammy’s, year long arena world tours, a live album and a small musical. That musical, similiar to the album, grew into an award winning Broadway show, Tony award winning hit. It’s coming to Chicago for the first time next week and just like the Broadway run, will sell out.

The direction team has been distributing posters for this Broadway in Chicago production on our specialty bars and venues route and on our popular hipster route.

“American Idiot” will be at the Oriental Theatre only from February 7 to February 19. Tickets are currently available. For details and a complete list of current and upcoming Broadway in Chicago shows, please visit broadwayinchicago.com.

Green Day’s much anticipated follow up to the Grammy award winning American Idiot, final arrives on May 15th, along with the start of the 21st Century Breakdown Tour.  With dates scheduled all over the world, and through October, this is looking to be one of the hottest tours of the year.  If you’re near the Chicagoland area, be sure to pick up your tickets when they go onsale this Saturday.

Green Day plays the United Center July 13th.  Tickets go on sale May 16th at 10:00am.
