The Georgetowner Review
“What’s affecting about the production at the Keegan — directed by founders Mark and Susan Marie Rhea — is the energy, the way it seems like a prolonged, authentic outburst of feeling and confusion, and the way it pays respect to the music.”
DC Theatre Scene Review
“Keegan Theatre’s production is sharp, loud, and grimy—all in a good way.”
Talkin' Broadway Review
“Washington’s Keegan Theatre and directors Mark A. Rhea and Susan Marie Rhea have created a high-intensity production of American Idiot, propelled by a powerful young cast and in-your-face staging and design.”
