Stereophonic
Showing through January 25, 2026

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 '70s band). David Adjmi notes he drew inspiration from iconic band Fleetwood Mac and came up with the idea while listening to Led Zeppelin and pondering "What would it have been like to be in the studio when this was being recorded?".
