The smash Broadway hit based on Green Day’s multi-platinum, GRAMMY® Award-winning album of the same name, American Idiot tells the story of three lifelong friends who are forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia.

DOMA has created a reputation for bringing large-scale musicals to the small intimate stage at Hollywood’s MET Theatre. With American Idiot, DOMA continues that tradition, offering up a 25-member ensemble and live band.
“Our production will be a unique, concert-style experience, with a raised set, projections, lasers, choreography to the max, a terrific cast made up of DOMA veterans and a band that will totally rock,” says director Marco Gomez.
With “American Idiot,” Green Day vocalist/guitarist Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool created one of the best-selling albums of all time. The musical version burst onto Broadway in 2010, rocking the St. James Theatre for more than a year. In The New York Times, Charles Isherwood wrote “Rage and love, those consuming emotions felt with a particularly acute pang in youth, all but burn up the stage… thrillingly raucous and gorgeously wrought.”
Green Day’s American Idiot runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. from June 5 through July 12 (dark July 4). Tickets range from $30–$34.99; seniors and students with ID pay only $20. The MET Theatre is located at 1089 N. Oxford Ave., Los Angeles CA 90029.
