Costumer Andrea Lauer partnered with Levi's to create versatile and authentic looks--denim adorned with bondage gear like chains and leather for the hardcore rockers, exposed zippers and cargo detail for the punks and sand-blasting and low-rise fits for the girls that pepper the scene.
One of the biggest style moments is the unveiling of a military captain attempting to recruit one of the youth-in-revolt lead characters, who is dressed piece-by-piece in a shiny silk/wool polyblend suit.

Based on the life experiences of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, a drug dealer named St. Jimmy is a prominent source of conflict in the musical, pushing heroin on the heroes in glam trash ensembles like faux-fur vests, shredded tanks and black plastic parachute pants.
Bottom line: Lauer and her stars make the rebellious self-expression of the Green Day oeuvre into splashy and spot-on representations of a subculture. Rock on!
