The hot West End transfer of the most Tony Award-nominated play ever follows an ambitious rock band struggling to record their new album in 1976. Stereophonic shares the highs and lows of being on the edge of stardom. Amid a powder keg of drugs, booze, and jealousy, songs come together while relationships fall apart.
The production originally had its World Premiere at Playwrights Horizons before transferring to Broadway on 3 April 2024. Stereophonic snapped up an astounding thirteen nominations at the Tony Awards in 2024 and will also embark on a US tour later this year.

They are joined by Andrew R. Butler and Eli Gelb as sound engineers Charlie and Grover, and Chris Stack as Simon the drummer, all of whom are reprising their roles from the acclaimed Broadway production.
