For music lovers, particularly die-hard Fleetwood Mac fans and others who love behind-the-scenes fare, this play provides what feels like an authentic, birds eye view of what recording an album was like in the ‘70s. It captures the nostalgia of a bygone era when celebrities were mysterious, gifted people who could only be somewhat known through their art and 4,000-word features in music magazines.

The performances are all strong, and more importantly, feel very real. That naturalism is what allows the show to function less as a traditional narrative and more as a slice of life. The story is about happens as this record is made. There are no heroes here. No clear protagonist. It truly is a slice of life, and sometimes this is exactly what life looks like. A group of people doing their thing, messy and unresolved.
Think of the greatest songs you’ve never heard - the soaring melodies, the unexpected anthems, the driving beats, the lyrics that speak to a feeling you didn’t know could be expressed in words. Unlike most straight plays, this opus has its own musical score, and good one by Will Butler.
And that is the projected end-product taking shape at the hoped for conclusion/finale of “Stereophonic,” now playing in the gorgeous Muriel Kauffman Opera House through Sunday April 11.
Stereophonic, the most Tony-nominated play of all time and winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Play, offers a compelling fly-on-the-wall look at a 1970s rock band recording their next album. With strong performances and music that feels like a character of its own, the show immerses you in the creative process, even if its scale and runtime occasionally soften the intimacy.
