Green Day are set to release 'The Original Broadway Cast Recording of American Idiot', featuring songs from the stage musical version of the band's hit 'American Idiot' album.

The 2004 album was itself a rock opera following the story of average American, Jesus of Suburbia. The show was adapted from the album by Tony Award winning director Michael Mayer, along with Green Day frontman and lyricist Billy Joe Armstrong, and first appeared in California's Berkeley Repertory Theatre before its huge popularity saw it move to a Broadway stage.

The album will feature all of the songs found on the original 'American Idiot' album, as well as some new songs from last year's '21st Century Breakdown', performed by the Broadway show's 24 member cast.

'The Original Broadway Cast Recording of American Idiot' will be released in Ireland on May 7th on Reprise Records.
