Yesterday, April 27, cast members from AMERICAN IDIOT helped unveil the IDIOT-themed windows at Bloomingdale's on 59th Street. The Nudie denim line sold at the superstore is partnering with the production. The window displays honor the cast and celebrate the show's recent opening on April 20, 2010. BroadwayWorld was there and brings you photos of the afternoon event.
The windows, which are a blend of AMERICAN IDIOT and Nudie denim were unveiled at 4:15pm. Following the window presentation there was a poster-signing event with cast members John Gallagher Jr, Tony Vincent, Stark Sands, Michael Esper, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Mary Faber and Christina Sajous.
The first 50 people to arrive received an AMERICAN IDIOT official t-shirt. Additionally the first 100 people to arrive received a window card which the cast signed. Ten lucky people were also chosen, at random, to receive free tickets to the show.
Customers who spend $200 or more on Nudie demin, in men's or women's styles will receive two free tickets to see the show.
This event will take place on the 2nd floor of Bloomingdale's on 59th Street at Third Avenue.
AMERICAN IDIOT opened at the ST. James Theatre On Tuesday, April 20, and follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post 9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. The musical includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot, as well as several songs from the band's GRAMMY® Award-winning new release, 21st Century Breakdown, such as "21 Guns."
Called a "masterpiece" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Green Day won two GRAMMY® Awards for the groundbreaking rock opera American Idiot, which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Now Billie Joe Armstrong and the band collaborate with one of the theatre's most acclaimed creative teams, led by the Tony Award-winning director of Spring Awakening, Michael Mayer, two-time Tony Award-winning composer and orchestrator Tom Kitt, and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett, to bring this explosive, iconic album to the stage.
The cast of AMERICAN IDIOT stars Tony Award winner John Gallagher Jr. (Spring Awakening) alongside Tony Award Nominee Stark Sands (Journey's End), Michael Esper (A Man For All Seasons), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Passing Strange), Christina Sajous (The Wild Party), Mary Faber (Avenue Q) and Tony Vincent (Jesus Christ Superstar). Also featured in the cast are Declan Bennett, Andrew Call, Gerard Canonico, Miguel Cervantes, Joshua Henry, Van Hughes, Brian CharLes Johnson , Joshua Kobak, Lorin Latarro, Omar Lopez-Cepero , Leslie McDonel, Chase Peacock , Theo Stockman, Ben Thompson , Alysha Umphress , Aspen Vincent and Libby Winters .
