Green Day Crosses Over on Broadway

Green Day's efforts at creating a Broadway musical based on its American Idiot record appear to have been successful, if Chris Jones' review in today's Chicago Tribune are on the money. The musical did show signs of life when first previewed at the 2010 Grammy Awards, but Green Day supported that effort by playing live. Jones says the music and singing do a great job of selling the story - even if the story itself is a little weak.
