American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording is an album by the cast of American Idiot and Green Day. In September 2009, American Idiot began its run in the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, California. After two extensions, it was transferred to the St. James Theatre on Broadway. The first single from the album, "21 Guns" was released on December 3, 2009. The album also includes "When It's Time", a previously unreleased song written by Billie Joe Armstrong. Two versions of it appear on the album, one by The Cast and one by Green Day. It was originally released on mtv.com on April 13, 2010 and was released on CD on April 20, 2010. A vinyl version of the album was released on July 13, 2010. The album debuted at number 43 on the Billboard 200, becoming one of the highest-charting musical soundtracks. It has sold 40,000 copies as of August, 2010. The album won Best Musical Show Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. Shortly after the album's release, another album featuring 13 songs from the album was released as American Idiot: Selections from the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
All lyrics written by Billie Joe Armstrong, except where noted; all music composed by Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, arranged by Tom Kitt.
Tracks are split into two discs, although there is no mention of this on the sleeve as tracks are written consecutively as tracks 1 to 22. Despite being the curtain call of the show, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is not featured on the album.
