This will be the first production of the musical since its 2022 Broadway debut—and will be a thrilling reimagining of the production, featuring a revised book and score by the original Broadway team: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning composer Tom Kitt, and Academy Award–winning writer and filmmaker Cameron Crowe. In a unique collaboration, both Kitt and Crowe will be working directly with A.C.T. of CT Artistic Director, Daniel C. Levine who will direct the production. Bryan Perri, the original Broadway music supervisor of Almost Famous, will return to music supervise the Ridgefield production. This new production will serve as an important step toward creating the final, licensable version of Almost Famous.
In this staging, the ensemble is not just support—they are the heartbeat of the piece. Onstage throughout the show, they serve as a kind of modern Greek chorus: representing the timeless, intangible power of music and memory—watching, shifting, reflecting the inner lives of the characters and the world around them. As Penny Lane says, “...the spirits are still here… In the walls and in the rafters…the spirits are still here…the music tells you all you need to know. The spirits are the ones who make it so...” This is Almost Famous as you’ve never seen it before—intimate, poetic, and surging with the raw, electric energy of a backstage pass to rock history.
