Rebecca Naomi Jones rocks “American Idiot”

Green Day’s punk musical “American Idiot” –based on their multi-platinum 2004 album of the same name– rocked the Berkeley Repertory Theater’s Roda Stage on its opening night in Berkeley, California. According to the SF Chronicle, the theater was full of energy and electricity with the creative staging, and incredible vocal chops of a brash group of singers and dancers! Rounding out the amazing cast is the beautiful and talented co-star Rebecca Naomi Jones, who also starred in “Passing Strange,” which also debuted at the Berkeley Rep.

“As seductive as Gallagher and Caplan’s voices are, it’s the women who generate the greatest rapport, particularly the beguiling and mellifluous Rebecca Naomi Jones (of “Passing Strange”) as Johnny’s passing lover”

—SF Chronicle

The musical also stars John Gallagher Jr., Michael Esper, Matt Caplan, Tony Vincent, and others. Purchase your tickets now because they’ll only be here through Nov. 1, 2009, at the Berkeley Rep’s Roda Theatre, 2015 Addison St., Berkeley.

Tickets are $19-$95. Call (510) 647-2949 or go to www.berkeleyrep.org.
