This talented cast brings the musical to life. The boys leave Jingletown and head for the bright lights. There they find love, drugs and violence but no answers to their problems. This gritty hard-hitting musical has the best tunes ever and it explodes onto the stage driven by its vibrant, talented cast as they bring these characters to life. A must-see for fans of Green Day
