Stereophonic is a dramatic stage play with music, written by American playwright David Adjmi. Music written for the play was composed by Will Butler from the indie rock band Arcade Fire.[1] The play follows a fictional rock band on the cusp of superstardom as they struggle through recording their new album set from 1976 to 1977.[2] The production debuted at Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway in 2023 before transferring to Broadway at the John Golden Theatre in 2024.

The production received critical acclaim, with critics comparing the material to the real life band Fleetwood Mac and its 1977 album Rumours.[3][4] The production made history as the play holding the record for the most Tony Award nominations with 13 nods, overtaking the Jeremy O. Harris play Slave Play (2020).[5] It received wins for Best Play and Direction of a Play as well as nominations for Best Featured Actress in a Play for Juliana Canfield and Sarah Pidgeon and Best Featured Actor in a Play for Will Brill, Eli Gelb, and Tom Pecinka (with Brill winning). Stereophonic also received the Drama Desk Award, the Drama League Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play of the 2023/2024 season.
