In 2009, the band collaborated with theater director [[Michael Mayer (director)|Michael Mayer]] to adapt the group's [[rock opera]] ''American Idiot'' into a one-act stage [[American Idiot (musical)|musical]] that premiered at the [[Berkeley Rep]] on September 15, 2009. The show then moved to Broadway on April 20, 2010. The reviews of ''American Idiot: The Musical'' have been positive to mixed. Charles Isherwood of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote an enthusiastic review for the Broadway production. He called the show "a pulsating portrait of wasted youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions ... only to transcend them through the power of its music and the artistry of its execution, the show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I've seen on Broadway this season. Or maybe for a few seasons past." Jed Gottlieb of the ''[[Boston Herald]]'' enjoyed the premise of the show but found that "the music and message suffer in a setting where the audience is politely, soberly seated".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/arts_culture/view.bg?articleid=1248227&position=0|title=Tale told by 'Idiot' lacks sound, fury|last=Gottlieb|first=Jay|work=[[Boston Herald]]|date=April 19, 2010|access-date=December 19, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007042217/http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/arts_culture/view.bg?articleid=1248227&position=0|archive-date=October 7, 2010}}</ref>

Michael Kuchiwara of the [[Associated Press]] found the show to be "visually striking [and] musically adventurous", but noted that "the show has the barest wisp of a story and minimal character development". Paul Kolnik in ''[[USA Today]]'' enjoyed the contradiction that Green Day's "massively popular, starkly disenchanted album ... would be the feel-good musical of the season". ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine's Richard Zoglin opined that the score "is as pure a specimen of contemporary punk rock as Broadway has yet encountered, [yet] there's enough variety. ... Where the show falls short is as a fully developed narrative." He concluded that "''American Idiot'', despite its earnest huffing and puffing, remains little more than an annotated rock concert. ... Still, [it] deserves at least two cheers—for its irresistible musical energy and for opening fresh vistas for that odd couple, rock and Broadway."<ref>Zoglin, Richard. "Punks Take Broadway", ''Time'' magazine, May 3, 2010, pp. 62–63</ref> Peter Travers from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', in his review of ''American Idiot'', wrote "Though ''American Idiot'' carries echoes of such rock musicals as ''[[Tommy (The Who album)|Tommy]]'', ''[[Hair (musical)|Hair]]'', ''[[Rent (musical)|Rent]]'' and ''[[Spring Awakening (musical)|Spring Awakening]]'', it cuts its own path to the heart. You won't know what hit you. ''American Idiot'' knows no limits—it's a global knockout."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/green-day-blast-broadway-with-american-idiot-20100423|last=Travis|first=Peter|title=Green Day Blast Broadway with American Idiot|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=April 23, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613162546/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/green-day-blast-broadway-with-american-idiot-20100423|archive-date=June 13, 2017}}</ref> The musical has been nominated for three [[Tony Awards]], including [[Tony Award for Best Musical|Best Musical]] and [[Tony Award for Best Scenic Design|Best Scenic Design]].

===''New Years Rev''===
On February 10, 2024, [[Live Nation Productions]] announced a [[comedy film]] titled ''New Years Rev'', which was described as a "coming-of-age tale", inspired by the true exploits of the band prior to their mainstream breakthrough in 1994. Production of the film was said to be underway in the US state of [[Oklahoma]]. Lee Kirk was announced as the film's writer and director. As of February 11, a release date had not been announced. Live Nation Productions, the film and TV arm of [[Live Nation Entertainment]], was said to be producing the film. Green Day guitarist and vocalist [[Billie Joe Armstrong]], bassist [[Mike Dirnt]], and drummer [[Tré Cool]] were announced as the film's producers, in collaboration with Tim Perell. The band members were also confirmed to be making an appearance in the film themselves. Ryan Kroft, [[Michael Rapino]], Jonathan Daniel were announced as the film's executive producers. [[Mason Thames]], Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust were announced as the film's stars.  [[Jenna Fischer]], who portrayed the character [[Pam Beesley]] in the American sitcom ''[[The Office (US)|The Office]]'', was confirmed to have a role in the film. [[Angela Kinsey]], who acted in the same series, was also confirmed to have a role in the film. The film's logline read, “Their roadtrip is a rowdy and mischievous jaunt across the country filled with adventures, based on the exploits of Green Day and their years of living in a tour van.” According to Ryan Kroft of Live Nation Productions, the film "[tells] the story of three friends as they travel across the United States after mistakenly thinking they’ll be opening for a Green Day New Years concert in [[Los Angeles]]." Billie Joe Armstrong said, "Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement of a friend of a friend’s house 50 miles east of anywhere you’ve ever heard of. But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known. It’s electric. Let the music and mischief ensue." Lee Kirk had previously worked with Billie Joe Armstrong on the 2016 ''[[Ordinary World (film)|Ordinary World]]'', which the latter had made an appearance in. Kirk had also previously directed an episode of ''The Office'', and is also the spouse of Jenna Fischer.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Surej |date=2025-02-11 |title=A Green Day-inspired comedy film is in the works |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/a-green-day-inspired-comedy-film-is-in-the-works-3836789 |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=NME |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Shanfeld |first=Ethan |date=2025-02-10 |title=Green Day-Inspired Comedy Movie in the Works From Live Nation Productions (EXCLUSIVE) |url=https://variety.com/2025/film/news/green-day-movie-live-nation-1236299058/ |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title= | website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/green-day-comedy-new-years-rev-mason-thames-1236132276/%7Cfocal_event=true}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Childers |first=Chad|date=2025-02-11 |title=What Green Day's New Comedy Movie Is About |url=https://loudwire.com/green-day-comedy-movie-new-years-rev/ |access-date=2025-02-17 |website=Loudwire |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kazi |first=Safeeyah |date=2025-02-11 |title=It's a Punk Revival!
