NEWS: Stereophonic to Transfer to the West End

Advertisements

It has been announced that David Adjmi’s Tony award winning play will be heading to the West End this year for a strictly limited run at the Duke of York’s Theatre from May.

Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that original cast members from the Broadway production will be reprising their roles including: Andrew R. Butler as Charlie, Eli Gelb as Grover and Chris Stack as Simon. Further casting has yet to be announced.

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.

Directed by Daniel Aukin, the show won five Tony Awards including: Best Play, Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for Will Brill, Best Direction of a Play for Daniel Aukin, Best Scenic Design of a Play for David Zinn and Best Sound Design of a Play for Ryan Rumery.

It originally had its  World Premiere at Playwrights Horizon’s before transferring to Broadway on the 3rd April 2024. The hit play will also embark on a US tour from October 2025.

The show is being produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Linden Productions and Ashley Melone and Nick Mills.

Meanwhile, the creative team behind the production also includes: David Zinn (scenic designer), Enver Chakartash (costume designer), Jiyoun Chang (lighting designer), Ryan Rumery (sound designer), Justin Craig (music director), Gigi Buffington (voice, text, and dialect coach), and Robert Pickens and Katie Gell (hair and wig design).
