Wow wow wow, an absolute must see. Saw it last night at The Arts Theatre in London, It is probably the best performance I have ever seen in the west end. Just goes to show that you don't need fancy props or a big budget, just sheds loads of talent. Such a pity that it finishes in a few weeks. St Jimmy was FANTASTIC, although I'm slightly biased as I know his mum and Lucas (st Jimmy). The whole cast were superb and totally deserved the standing ovation ������

User

Wish I could rate it higher than 5*. What an amazing show in such a small intimate venue. It felt like every song was being sung just for me! Took us on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster and just loved the whole production. I was left speechless and emotional and have a feeling the show will be in my mind for a long time to come. Absolutely fantastic xxx

User

Went to the rock-a-long performance… one of the best theatre experience in my life. Having seen few times before already I love the show but this performance blew me out completely! AMAZING!

User

Went to matinee show at Nottingham yesterday the show was brilliant got full cast even though was early show, the whole cast was amazing the 3 lead men where great together and I didn't have chance to get a programme but blonde guy who joins the army (spoiler sorry) was brilliantly cast and preformed his role so well and everyone cast n audience loved it !!!! Would go again

User

Seen this incredible show 7 times! Honestly the best show I've ever seen, Lucas Rush is amazing! Full of life and energy, cheeky in places, hugely entertaining and of course the music is ���

User

Saw it on my birthday (September, 12th, 2015). Absolutely loved it! Aaron Sidwell as Johnny was absolutely amazing! Would have loved to be able to catch the show again before it ended and before Aaron left, would have been fantastic!... I loved Green Day since birth (I'm 20 now), so just to share this live West End experience into their musical minds was just brilliant! Hoping it comes back again and that Aaron plays Johnny, he totally made the show!!

User

Saw american idiot on the 13/9/16 at the arts theatre ! I was expecting it to be okay as i love greenday and had read up on what it was about...... me and my husband where absolutely blown away! Loved it and would love to see it again! If im honest we forgot how brilliant the songs are ! Hope it tours again! Brilliant birthday present ! Cast were absolutely brilliant !

User

My Daughter and I have seen this absolutely amazing production three times now, and it never ever fails to hit those emotion buttons. I cannot wait to be able to see it again...to feel all of that raw emotion once (or twice) more. The cast has always been amazing and particularly loved Luke Rush as St Jimmy.

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

Just come out of the Bridlington show & am still buzzing. Phenomenal music and a terrific cast. This is the kind of show that will make a new generation get back in theatres.

User

I've waited years to see this and I was so lucky to have tickets on the last day! I am amazed! What an incredible performance of acting, singing, music and dancing... Such talent, to portray an album that changed so many people's lives, brought fans together as a family, it's not easy but you nailed it! I really hope this comes back to London or goes on tour, I need to see it again! #idiotnation

User

I went to see this tonight at the Empire in Liverpool.My son took me for a late Birthday present.Well I didn't like it....I loved it.The whole performance was amazing with a fantastic story.The cast were fantastic.Everything just couldn't of been more perfect.I love Greenday anyway.It was a very emotional Performance . Well done and thank you to everyone who made this happen not forgetting my son who took me

User

I was bought tickets for my birthday and I had the best time. The music, singing and acting were spot on (Newtons accent was very funny). Loved it from start to finish

User

I just went to see it for the second time! I was sitting in the front row and it was amazing! Oh my, they can sing!! Amazing casting and this st Jimmy is perfect!

User

Despite the fact that I love Greenday I wasn't sure what to expect from this show as I actually had no idea what it was about and bought tickets on a whim I was blown away it was amazing, very talented cast, I sang along, there were lots of fun bits but some quite emotional parts as well but the singing was great and the musicians were fantastic. A standing ovation was definitely well deserved. The theatre is small and at the back of a cafe which was a little strange to me but it was felt intimate.

User

Bloody brilliant matinee today! Everyone involved was amazing, incredible energy, in awe of you all. Blew me and my wife away. We were both really excited when we saw that Amelia was in the cast and not disappointed, that woman can seriously sing!!!!

User

As a Green Day fan myself I knew I would love the show but wasn't sure about my husband. I shouldn't of worried - he loved it too. We were at the Arts Theatre on 3rd August. A very talented cast prove that big sets and costume changes are not needed. Be prepared to experience a rollercoaster of emotions and amazing music. The standing ovation at the end was well deserved by all. Would definitely watch it all over again!

User

An amazing show. I wasnt sure what to expect but having seen the show yesterday i would thoroughly recommend going.

All of the songs on the American Idiot album used to tell a story. Not as much emotion in the songs as a Green Day performance but the cast do every song proud.

Definitely go if you have the chance, great way to spend an afternoon, you wont leave disappointed.

User

Amazing! Took my cousin for his 14th birthday, he is green day crazy, to the last performance on 25th September..... He loved it, we loved it and we wish it wasn't ending!!

He also suggested this would be a great thong for teenagers to see as an anti drug campaign, he came out having learnt such a strong lesson from it....however I'm not so sure on its suitability Haha!!

User

Absolutely brilliant ! My daughter bought us tickets and I just loved every second of it. We have seen Green Day live. Think this even surpassed that. Have been to so many shows/musicals and this is one of the best
