As we hinted about [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/79/]back in November[/turl], the musical is moving to Broadway from it's run at the Berkeley Rep Theater which started in September, then extended (twice) till November 15th. While there it broke records for the theater with "the biggest advance sale in the Theatre's 41-year history, the biggest day at the box office, 17 of the top 20 days ever and due to ticket demand had to announce the first extension before it had played its first performance. "

From the press release:
"Experiencing American Idiot on stage in Berkeley was incredible," says Billie Joe Armstrong. "We have really enjoyed working with Michael, Steven, Tom and the cast. The energy and chemistry of the group is contagious. Michael Mayer was able to bring life to the characters of American Idiot and Tom Kitt's musical arrangements are breathtaking. We're so proud that the show is coming to Broadway!"
