Fresh off the heels of opening night, it has been announced that David Adjmi’s Stereophonic, the season’s most critically acclaimed new play, will extend due to popular demand. Originally scheduled to run for only 14 weeks, the production will now play its final performance on August 18, 2024.
On Friday, April 19, Stereophonic opened on Broadway at the Golden Theatre, and played a one-time-only encore for invited guests. The performance included Academy Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Will Butler, the composer of the original songs featured in the show. Stereophonic is directed by Daniel Aukin.

The cast, reprising their highly lauded performances from the show’s premiere at Playwrights Horizons includes Will Brill as Reg, Andrew R. Butler as Charlie, Juliana Canfield as Holly, Eli Gelb as Grover, Tom Pecinka as Peter, Sarah Pidgeon as Diana, and Chris Stack as Simon.
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.
