About this listen

It is a privilege to welcome Max Bartos and Chelsea Turbin as guests for a special edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

On Sunday, September 21, Max (from Sing Street) and Chelsea (from Off-Broadway’s Little Shop of Horrors) will join an all-star lineup of performers at the New York City-based 54 Below to celebrate the 21st anniversary of Green Day’s iconic album, American Idiot, and its subsequent Broadway musical.

Max co-produced this tribute concert with director/producer Laura Pietropinto and actor Matt DeAngelis. The two explosive shows mark over two decades since the band released the Grammy and American Music Award-winning album, and a decade since the curtain fell on its musical counterpart. With music supervision from Moulin Rouge and SpongeBob SquarePants alum Julie McBride and music direction by Sean Pallatroni, the shows will offer unforgettable performances of classic tracks, storytelling moments, and a nostalgic journey through the themes of rebellion, hope, and the quest for identity that American Idiot so brilliantly encapsulates.

In addition to Max, Matt, and Chelsea, there is Tony Award-nominated and Green Day superfan Derek Klena; Van Hughes, a member of the Original Broadway Cast and the first national tour who starred opposite Billie Joe Armstrong; and other American Idiot Broadway and tour alumni, including Gerard Canonico, Nicci Claspell, Francesca Granell, Carson Higgins, Brian Charles Johnson, Brandon Kalm, and Johnny Newcomb. Broadway standouts such as J. Antonio Rodriguez (Hadestown), Taylor Iman Jones (Six), Teddy Grey (The British Invasion), Dillion Klena (Jagged Little Pill national tour), and Trent Saunders (Disney’s Aladdin, Hadestown, and Dead Outlaw) are also involved.

On this special edition of Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Max Bartos and Chelsea Turbin preview the 54 Below celebration, the first time they heard Green Day’s American Idiot, and share their most memorable moments from participating in the regional and touring productions.
