What Is Stereophonic?
The Most Tony-Nominated Play Of All Time
Written by David Adjmi, with songs by Will Butler of Arcade Fire, this heavily buzzed production takes you on a wild ride through the day-to-day of five rock musicians making an album in the early 70s. The story itself is one of infighting, frustration, romance, and rock'n'roll (all the things you'd expect from a disagreeing 70's band). David Adjmi notes he drew inspiration from iconic band Fleetwood Mac and came up with the idea while listening to Led Zepplin and pondering "What would it have been like to be in the studio when this was being recorded?".
Why See Stereophonic?
Last year, the Broadway production of Stereophonic captivated both audiences and critics, winning an impressive five Tony Awards: Best New Play, Best Featured Actor, Best Direction of a Play, Best Sound Design, and Best Scenic Design. Stereophonic is a powerhouse show that excels in every aspect.
It's not just the story that's been making waves; the production has also enchanted countless hearts with its original songs, written by former Arcade Fire star Will Butler. This is a must-see show for both music and drama enthusiasts.
