The most Tony Award-winning show of 2024. The most Tony Award-nominated play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. An up-and-coming rock band recording a new album suddenly finds itself on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark the group’s breakup – or its breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse itself – with fly-on-the-wall intimacy – in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
