High School Halts Production Of "American Idiot" In Favor Of "Little Shop Of Horrors"

ENFIELD — A decision by Enfield High School staff not to allow a student production of Green Day's rock opera "American Idiot" drew an online response from the band's front man, Billie Joe Armstrong, on Monday that quickly spread over the Internet.

The high school's drama club, the Lamplighters, will not perform "American Idiot" this spring, despite fliers recently posted at the school encouraging students to audition. Instead, the group will perform "Little Shop of Horrors," according to drama club director Nate Ferreira.

"I know that Mr. Armstrong posted something in support of our intention to do the show but in fact it wasn't the school board as he thinks that forced us not to do the show," Ferreira said. "It was a decision that the principal and I arrived at together because there were some kids in the group whose parents didn't want them involved."

Yeah because Little Shop Of Horrors is much better!
