In the spirit of Rent and Hair, this rock fueled and electric musical was nominated for the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical. AMERICAN IDIOT, is a harrowing story of modern disaffected youth. The alarmingly relevant social commentary illustrates the struggles of destructive relationships, drug abuse and the horrors of war, all set against the backdrop of a post 9/11 politically and socially divided America.
Contains strong language and drug references – not suitable for those under 13.

A wonderful and heartfelt new Canadian musical, BITTERGIRL charts the tumultuous breakups of three women, and the painfully hilarious antics that ensue. With 60’s girl group music punctuating a fast-paced, tender and funny narrative, BITTERGIRL is insightful and honest storytelling at its best.
