Who ever believed that modern day ‘punk rock’ would go hand-in-hand with Broadway musical theatre?! Well, Billie Joe Armstrong did! Today we can bring you the trailer for BROADWAY IDIOT, the documentary charting the story of turning Green Day’s music catalogue into a sell-out show.
Focusing on the band’s journey from stage to…well, stage…the documentary shows how theatre mastermind Michael Mayer worked with Armstrong to turn his music dream into a dramatic reality.
I’ve been a fan of Green Day since I was 11, and as soon as I heard about the American Idiot musical I’ve been praying it’d make it to the UK. If BROADWAY IDIOT is the closest I’ll get to the drama, that’s fine by me!
Directed by Doug Hamilton (FRONTLINE), BROADWAY IDIOT will get a limited US release from tomorrow and will be shown at the BFI London Film Festival from 20th October.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
