Record-breaking five-star hit new play extends West End run

Last year, a new Broadway play called Stereophonic received a record-breaking 13 Tony Award nominations.

The production went on to win five gongs, including Best Play, and has since transferred to London's West End with a plethora of 5-star reviews.

Set in a Californian recording studio in 1976, the 3-hour epic follows a fictional rock band recording their difficult second album.

Compared by critics to the real-life struggles of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours sessions, the show features live musical performances by the incredibly talented actor-musicians.

Written by David Adjmi and directed by Daniel Aukin, original songs in the play were composed by Arcade Fire's Will Butler.

Daily Express' Neil Norman called it "searingly authentic", while Sunday Express' Stefan Kyriazis wrote "stunning biopic Stereophonic is the closest I've ever felt to being a rock star".

Having opened in London at the Duke of York's Theatre, the show has now extended its run to November 22, 2025 and tickets can be booked here.
