Of all the people I know, my mom was the most excited to hear American Idiot was coming to town. So, using the Orpheum's student offers, my sister, mom, and I got inexpensive seats in the pit! I had never been that close to the stage in the Orpheum before! (I think my previous record was row E.) It was really exciting being that near to the action, because you could really get a feel for the details in the props and costumes as well as see the subtle interactions between the actors.
The show itself was almost pure music with little dialoge outside the songs. It was like a rock concert. All the performermers were great, especially Larkin Bogan who played Johnny. The show is not my favorite, but it was still a fun show that was really well done.
