Stereophonic

Direct from the sold-out Off-Broadway run, David Adjmi’s STEREOPHONIC, featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, 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.

“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
