Giveaway: American Idiot

Dallas — UPDATE MAY 4, 2012: The giveaway below is over and the winners have been contacted. Check your email if you played.

For today's giveaway, we have several pairs of tickets to the tour of the Tony-winning musical American Idiot at the Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The tour runs May 8-20, and these tickets are for opening night, 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 8.

Here's a description of the show, which is based on the Grammy-winning Green Day album of the same name.

Direct from Broadway, the smash-hit musical American Idiot tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Their quest for true meaning in a post 9/11 world leads them on the most exhilarating theatrical journey of the season. Based on Green Day's Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, American Idiot boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. The result is an experience Charles Isherwood of The New York Times declares "thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I’ve seen this year!"

To win, email tickets@theaterjones.com, and put AMERICAN IDIOT in the subject line. In the body of email, put your name, address, phone number and best email contact.

You have until 11:30 p.m. Thursday, May 3 to submit an email. We'll notify the winners Friday morning.
