Between the head-banging, strobe lighting and angst-filled lyrics, American Idiot might be better suited to an arena rock setting than the musical theater. But punk rockers are wont to rock where punk rockers choose, especially if the setting is less than appropriate. That's not to say that the Green Day rock opera, which played this weekend at the Straz, isn't a great show, because it truly is. Just be prepared to have your face kicked in a (theatrically) punk rock way.
