About Stereophonic
Premiered Off-Broadway in October 2023, the show was named Best Play of the Year by the Washington Post, described as “hands-down the best American play since the pandemic” by ex-New York Times’ critic Ben Brantley. It went on to win ‘Best of 2023’ accolades from the New Yorker, New York Magazine, New York Times, The Wrap, and Time Out New York. It closed Off-Broadway in late 2023 to re-open on Broadway itself, where it closed after a limited run in January 2025.
Stereophonic the story
The action is set in a music studio in 1976 – 77, delving into the highs and lows of a rock band on the road to success. Groundbreaking stuff, it captures the essence of a band on the edge of superstardom as the musicians record a new album, on the verge of a massive hit but at the same time on the cusp of breaking up thanks to the agony, ecstasy and tension of the creative process. Will they break through or fall apart?
Stereophonic cast and creatives
The show stars Andrew R. Butler as Charlie, Tony Award-nominated actor Eli Gelb as Grover and Chris Stack (The Secret Life of Bees, Off-Broadway) as Simon who reprises their roles for the West End production.
The show is written by the respected theatre playwright David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and features original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler. The Scenic Designer is David Zinn, the Costume Designer is Enver Chakartash and the Lighting Designer is Jiyoun Chang. Sound design comes from Ryan Rumery and the Music Director is Justin Craig.
