Stereophonic is going to Broadway!
Following its sold-out smash run at Playwrights Horizons this fall, Stereophonic will begin performances at the Golden Theatre on April 3. We’re incredibly proud to have brought this production to life and can't wait to see it again on a whole new stage. Special preview prices are available for a limited time. Get tickets and more at stereophonicplay.com.
David Adjmi’s Stereophonic zooms in on a music studio in the mid-1970s, where an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. Will the ensuing pressures spark their breakup — or their breakthrough? Featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, this intimate, electric play mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation.
Age Recommendation: Stereophonic is appropriate for audiences ages 14+.

“Critic's Pick! Adjmi ingeniously weaves sound and story into something as granular as it is operatic... A relentlessly compelling production by Daniel Aukin that has the grit of a documentary... as rich and lustrous as they come. You could even call it platinum.”
— Jesse Green, The New York Times | Read Full Article“When the last time a play made you cry just because it was so damn good? In turning friction into fire in a California recording studio, David Adjmi's "Stereophonic," at Playwrights Horizons, reminds you that nothing thrills like theater at its best.”
