Stereophonic

Venue

Duke of York’s Theatre

It’s 1976 and one band are about to break through, break down, or break up…

Step into the studio with the record-breaking, record-making new play Stereophonic.

Plug into the electric atmosphere as one up-and-coming rock band record the album that could propel them to superstardom. Amid a powder keg of drugs, booze and jealousy, songs come together and relationships fall apart. The mics are on, the tapes are rolling, but with this band, someone’s always out of tune…

Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, Stereophonic grants you intimate fly-on-the-wall access to the discord and disharmony of the creative process.

Following a smash-hit run on Broadway, the most Tony-nominated play of all time arrives for a strictly limited season at the Duke of York’s Theatre from May 2025.
