AMERICAN IDIOT Set for Playhouse on the Square

Playhouse on the Square is proud to present the regional premiere of Green Day's American Idiot! American Idiot follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans, lead by friends Johnny, Tunny and Will, as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunney enters the armed forces, Michael is called back home to attend familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day's album American Idiot, as well as several songs from follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.

Leading the cast is Playhouse on the Square Associate Company Member Nathan McHenry (Carrie the Musical; Peter Pan) as Johnny and American Idol contestant and local radio personality Alexis Grace (Legally Blonde the Musical) as Watshername. They are joined by Playhouse on the Square Associate Company Members Brooke Papritz (Peter Pan; Carrie the Musical) as Heather, Dane Van Brocklin (Carrie the Musical; Billy Elliot the Musical) as St. Jimmy, as well as Christopher Miller and Sam Warner who will both be making their Playhouse on the Square debuts as Tunny and Will.
