Center Theatre Group and Deaf West Theatre join together for the all-new production of global rock superstars Green Day’s legendary rock opera, American Idiot, directed by Center Theatre Group Artistic Director Snehal Desai. Check out new video from the show as the cast performs the number, "St, Jimmy" below!

Following a celebratory Opening Night on October 9 and an incredible sales pace for the original engagement, the companies have announced a six-performance extension of the show, which has already become one of the Mark Taper Forum’s biggest hits in its history—establishing itself as the Taper’s third-highest grossing show of all-time, while also currently out-pacing any previous Taper production.

American Idiot now continues through – and must close on Saturday, November 16. Tickets for the extension dates are available to donors and subscribers beginning Thursday, October 10. Tickets go on sale to the public on Tuesday, October 15. All tickets are available at centertheatregroup.org.

The show is produced in collaboration with the Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre, headed by Artistic Director DJ Kurs, and features an ensemble of both Deaf and hearing actors, performing simultaneously in American Sign Language and Spoken English. CTG and Deaf West have a long history of bold and exciting collaborations, including Pippin, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, and Big River—which went on to have an acclaimed run on Broadway followed by a National Tour.

American Idiot features music by Green Day; lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong; and book by Billie Joe Armstrong & Michael MayerJennifer Weber (Broadway: & Juliet, KPOP) is the choreographer; Colin Analco (Deaf West: Fidelio) is the ASL choreographer.
