Don't wanna be an American idiot?

New Line opens its 33rd season with the powerful, high-octane, rock fable AMERICAN IDIOT, based on the powerhouse album by Green Day, a scorching attack on the hypocrisy and moral evils of American politics, and as the increasingly submissive nature of the American public. It's a show that has become even more relevant today than when it was written.

The brilliant, insightful, iconic score includes every song from Green Day's hit album American Idiot, as well as several songs from their follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown, with music by Green Day, lyrics by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, a book by Armstrong and Michael Mayer, and musical arrangements and orchestrations by Broadway composer Tom Kitt. The Toronto Star called the show "the first great musical of the 21st century."

The New Liners return to the world-famous Sheldon Concert Hall!

New Line returns to the accoustically magnificent Sheldon Concert Hall with an all-black cast, for the company's sixth concert of songs from Broadway musicals. The New Liners get to work on so many amazing musicals, famous and not, with powerful songs and stories. But sometimes there are theatre songs that our performers would love to sing, even though we may not produce the shows they come from. For that reason -- and to spotlight the incredible talent right here in St. Louis -- New Line brings you this Two-Night-Only showcase!

The evening will include songs from Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady, Anything Goes, Follies, Bye Bye Birdie, Man of La Mancha, Company, and other iconic Broadway musicals!

This concert is not part of the seaason ticket package. But you can purchase tickets to the concert when you subscribe to the season.

Let's do The Time Warp again.

New Line's season continues with the hilarious, sex-crazed show New Line was made to produce, Richard O'Brien's THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. This brilliantly creepy, campy satire targets American sexual hang-ups and the excesses of the Sexual Revolution, all told in the language of 1930s sci-fi B-movies, 1950s muscle magazines, and 1970s punk rock.

This celebration of the mad variety of human sexuality and gender is exactly what we need right now, to counteract all the anti-LGBT rage in America today.

The famous story follows the corseted, fish-netted Frank N. Furter, his fellow over-sexed aliens, and his perfect wet dream of a monster, the muscular, blond Rocky Horror, as they sing universally beloved songs like "The Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite," "Toucha Toucha Touch Me," "Dammit Janet," and also a couple songs that were cut from the cult classic film.

How do you measure a year in the life?

New Line closes its 33rd season with Jonathan Larson's cheerfully transgressive, 1990s rock/pop riff on a classic story, set in New York City’s East Village, is best described in its creator's own words: “In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.”

A show about connection and healing seems like a story we need right now, maybe more than ever before.

Rent was nominated for a staggering ten Tony Awards and won four, including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. It also won six Drama Desk Awards, three Obie Awards, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and a Drama League Award. And the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The original production ran more than twelve years and over five thousand performances — it's still one of the top ten longest running musicals in Broadway history — and the 2010 off Broadway revival, opening just three years after the original closed, ran another year.
