STEREOPHONIC Original Broadway Cast Recording CD

OFFICIAL STEREOPHONIC ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING CD

Direct from its smash hit world premiere at Playwrights Horizon, Stereophonic opens on Broadway on April 19. With original songs by Academy Award nominee Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, Stereophonic is written by David Adjimi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and stars Will Brill as Reg, Andrew R. Butler as Charlie, Juliana Canfield as Holly, Eli Gelb as Grover, Tom Pecinka as Peter, Sarah Pidgeon as Diana, and Chris Stack as Simon reprising their highly lauded performances. The album features Butler’s music from the show including the hit song and act one closer, “Masquerade.”

Dominating the “Best Theater of 2023” lists, Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. In Stereophonic, Adjmi invites the audience to immerse themselves—with fly-on-the-wall intimacy—in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
