Stereophonic at Melbourne Theatre Company tickets
About Stereophonic
The most Tony Award-nominated play in Broadway history – a turbo-charged drama about making legendary music and making a mess of everything else – features an original score by former Arcade Fire member, Will Butler.
A gifted cast of actor-musicians, including Geraldine Hakewill (Miss Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries) and Alex Malone (The Royal Hotel), catapults to California in the mid-1970s in this Broadway hit.
A band on the verge of a breakthrough retreats to a recording studio to make the rock’n’roll album that could define a generation. But ambition comes at a cost: cocaine, egos, rivalry and fractured relationships all threaten to destroy the very thing they're trying to create. Over weeks that blur into months, they chase the perfect take – and each other.
David Adjmi wrote this ‘epic canvas rendered in hyper-intimate detail’ (The New York Times) over a decade, and the now critically acclaimed fly-on-the-wall portrait of creativity and obsession is the most-nominated play in Tony Award history, going on to win five. An ensemble cast blows the lid off the recording studio with an original score by Grammy-Award winning musician Will Butler, formerly of indie rock giants Arcade Fire.
