The show started previews August 8, 2009; opened Monday, August 17 at 7 p.m.; and will run through October 11, 2009 at the Tony n' Tina's Wedding space at Pipers Alley Theater.

Route 66 premiered the rehabbed Jalopy, High Fidelity, last night at Pipers Alley. However, when a show only lasts fourteen performances in its Broadway Debut, it might just be worth it to let sleeping dogs lie. Based on the 1995 Nick Hornby novel and the 2000 John Cusack film, High Fidelity introduces us to Rob, a record-store owner with the emotional maturity of a child and takes us on his journey to get the love of his live, Laura, back and maybe just grow the heck up.
