<span style="background:white">In the wake of Green Day’s 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Beck Center for the Arts is thrilled to rock out with
<i>American Idiot</i> this summer. Originally released in 2004 as Green Day’s seventh studio recording, this project went on to win “Best Rock Album” at the 2005 Grammy Awards®. By 2010, the music was brought to life on Broadway where it received two Tony Awards®
and the “Best Musical Show Album” Grammy®. The story follows three friends as they search for true meaning in a post 9/11 world. Praised as “a groundbreaking musical knockout” by
<i>Rolling Stone</i>, this energy fueled rock opera boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before.<br>
<br>
Tickets are $29 for adults, $26 for seniors (65 and older), and $12 for students with a valid I.D. A $3 service fee per ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Preview Night on Thursday, July 9 is $10 with general admission seating. Group discounts are
