The producers of the critically acclaimed AMERICAN IDIOT announced today that OSCAR® and GRAMMY® Award winning rock star, singer Melissa Etheridge will play the role of “St. Jimmy” for a one-week engagement, February 1 – 6, 2011. Ms. Etheridge is one of the most iconic recording artists in the music industry. For the rest of the month, Green Day frontman and the musical’s composer and co-author Billie Joe Armstrong will return to the role of “St. Jimmy” and complete his 50 performance, limited engagement from February 10-27, 2011 at the St. James Theatre, 246 West 44 Street.

Come see American Idiot during the first week of February and tell us all what you think!
