Here's the clip of the cast singing with Green Day at the 2010 Grammy's (Green Day will not appear in the musical on Broadway):
American Idiot follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. This high-octane show includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot, as well as several songs from the band's Grammy-nominated new release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Green Day won two Grammy Awards for the groundbreaking rock opera American Idiot, which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Now Billie Joe Armstrong and the band collaborate with one of the theatre's most acclaimed creative teams, led by the Tony Award-winning director of Spring Awakening, Michael Mayer, two-time Tony Award-winning composer and orchestrator Tom Kitt, and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett, to bring this explosive, iconic album to the stage.
You can read the entire breakdown of the plot on Wikipedia. The story and "rock opera" music sound like American Idiot could be this decade's Rent (and we all know how much I loved Rent).

Let me know what you think!
I think that I may try and see this since NYC is right up the road (such a spoiled city girl I've become ha-). I will definitely let you know how it is if I end up going!
