Stereophonic is a dramatic stage play with music, written by American playwright David Adjmi. Music written for the play was composed by Will Butler from the indie rock band Arcade Fire.
The play follows a fictional rock band on the cusp of superstardom as they struggle through recording their new album set from 1976 to 1977. The production debuted at Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway in 2023 before transferring to Broadway at the John Golden Theatre in 2024.
The production received critical acclaim with critics comparing the material to the real life band Fleetwood Mac and its 1977 album Rumours as well as the Amazon Prime limited series Daisy Jones and the Six (2023).
The production made history overtaking the Jeremy O. Harris play Slave Play (2020) as the most Tony Award nominated play with 13 nods. It received nominations for Best Play and Direction of a Play as well as Best Featured Actress in a Play for Canfield and Pidgeon and Best Featured Actor in a Play for Brill, Gelb, and Pecinka.
