Written by Tony Award winner David Adjmi, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Aukin, and with music by Grammy Award winner Will Butler, Stereophonic was originally scheduled to run for a total of 14 weeks. Additionally, it was announced today that Amy Forsyth and Rebecca Naomi Jones will join the company as 'Diana' and 'Holly,' respectively. Cast member Benjamin Anthony Anderson, who currently serves as an understudy, will take over the role of 'Peter.' Emilie Kouatchou and Denver Milord will join the production as understudies. The new cast members will begin performances at the Golden Theatre (252 W 45th St) on Tuesday, October 1st. Original cast members Juliana Canfield, Tom Pecinka, and Sarah Pidgeon will take their final bows in the production on Sunday, September 29th. Stereophonic is currently playing at the Golden Theatre (252 W. 45th St.). Tickets are on sale now at the Golden Theatre office, online at Telecharge, or by calling 212-239-6200. For more information, visit StereophonicPlay.com. Stereophonic is the most Tony-nominated play of all time and the winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play. The critically acclaimed production premiered at Playwrights Horizons in 2023. The original cast recording of Stereophonic was released digitally through Sony Masterworks Broadway on May 10, with the physical CD released on June 14. The limited edition vinyl album is available for preorder now. 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. The Stereophonic creative team includes Tony Award nominee David Zinn (scenic designer), Tony Award nominee Enver Chakartash (costume designer), Tony Award nominee Jiyoun Chang (lighting designer), Tony Award nominees Butler and Justin Craig (orchestrations) Tony Award nominee Ryan Rumery (sound designer), Justin Craig (music director), and Gigi Buffington (voice, text, and dialect coach).
