Since My better half is always trying to get Me to go to those Broadway type shows .I was pretty enthusiastic that this one at least would have a Rockin soundtrack. Well it was better than that! All the music was performed live by a band right on stage with the performers signing along. It was pretty bombastic and didn't make a whole lot of sense to Me . But I enjoyed the show. If your wife or girlfriend is always bugging you to take Her to the theater take her to see American Idiot ! I think this is only in Berkeley but if it takes off may be in other cities soon.
