Rave Review #5 -- "The casting is excellent, led by dynamic performances from Clayton Humburg as the thrill-seeking Johnny, DeAnte Bryant as the aimless Will, and especially Rafael Da Costa as the initially directionless but eventually profoundly devastated Tunny. All three have strong voices and presence, carrying their numbers with clarity and authenticity. . . If you love Green Day, you’ll probably enjoy American Idiot. Even if you are not as familiar with the band and their music, however, there is a compelling, well thought-out message here, even though it does have its flaws. In terms of the production itself, this is another strong effort from New Line Theatre, proving that revivals can be just as effective as their original productions, and sometimes even more so."

“In most narratives about technology there’s a villain, but there is no villain in this show. It’s more like couples counseling, which isn’t so concerned with identifying whose flaws are bigger or deciding if you should be in the relationship. You are in this relationship [with your machines], and while it’s tempting to blame it all on them, the show keeps coming back to the question of, ‘What is this dynamic, and what is your role in it?’ Which leads to fun questions like, ‘What do you want for yourself?’ and ‘What do you want for your species?’”

Rave Review # 5 -- "An electric cast brings to life Green Day’s turbo-charged punk rock opera American Idiot, accompanied by an exceptional group of eight musicians whose propulsive rhythms invigorate New Line Theatre’s 98th production. . . New Line first presented this youthful alienation statement as a regional premiere in 2016, and with a fresh crop of performers, has turned The Marcelle Theatre into a scorching experience that ramps up passion and urgency. Heads will be banged. . . This cast shows their bond as mostly Gen Z’ers presenting a specific era. It’s hard to think of American Idiot as a period piece, for it remains relevant with its blistering screeds and hopeful ballads. With a complexity that you may not have thought about while hearing the music in radio play or through sound systems, American Idiot shakes things awake in a rant against complacency and manipulation – and that can be heard loud and clear at any age."

Rave Review #4 -- "New Line Theatre’s 33rd season begins with an energetic and angsty American Idiot. . . These songs, performed with vigor by a talented ensemble and backed by a take-no-prisoners band, form the backbone of the production. . . This masterful staging of American Idiot from directors Chris Moore and Scott Miller feeds off of the 2000s vibe of governmental distrust, dystopian fear and youthful agitation and freshens it up. As a result, audiences are treated to a moving contemporary parable that speaks to audiences from across the decades."

Review: AMERICAN IDIOT at The Marcelle Theater iAmerican Idiot is a brazen rock opera in the vein of The Who’s Tommy. The music is urgent, incendiary and, at times, regretful and poignant. Green Day’s punk rock ethos evokes reflection on the role of societal pressures and personal introspection.
