<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 American Idiot 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 Rolling Stone, 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.
