Green Day's Play - American Idiot

I am personally excited about this. I mean, my favorite band get s a decent album turned into a play? Hardcore

Here's an article about the announcement.

The guys will be working with Michael Mayer, a Tony-Award winning director for Spring Awakening.

And now a quote from Beej, credit to GDA for finding it.

"We are really excited to be working with Michael Mayer on this project. We'd been thinking of bringing American Idiot to the stage, but knew we needed to find the right partners. After meeting with Michael to discuss the possibility, he invited us to see 'Spring Awakening.'

We were so impressed with that production, as well as his vision for American Idiot, that we knew we'd found the perfect collaborator. Plus, doing it in our hometown at Berkeley Rep was an obvious bonus. They're an amazing theater group, very adventurous, and their willingness to take chances is in keeping with the spirit of the album. The end result will be terrific, and we're really proud."

It's times like these that I wished I lived in California
It looks like it's going to be really interesting though. I wonder if it's going to just follow the basic plotline of the album, or expand upon it.
It would be really cool if it eventually became successful enough to come onto Broadway in New York. Then I'd definitely be able to see it
