A new documentary is taking a behind-the-scenes look at Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's 2010 Broadway debut.
"Broadway Idiot," which hits select theaters on Oct. 11, traces Armstrong's path from multi-platinum punk rock star to leading man in Green Day's Tony-winning musical, "American Idiot." Directed by Doug Hamilton, the movie offers what most Broadway fans never get to see: a no-holds-barred, warts-and-all backstage glimpse at the production of a musical.
Hamilton says working alongside Armstrong and the rest of the "American Idiot" cast and crew was very much a labor of love, albeit one that he freely admits was an eye-opening experience.
"I think most people in the audience have no real idea of the time, detail and hard work that go into making the final show," Hamilton told The Huffington Post in an email. Describing "Broadway Idiot" as "the most intimate, behind-the-scenes documentary that's been done of the Broadway process," Hamilton added, "We were incredibly lucky to have the kind of access we did."
