Stereophonic

Direct from the sold-out Off-Broadway run, David Adjmi’s _Stereophonic_, featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, zooms in on a music studio in the mid-1970s, where an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. <br> Will the ensuing pressures spark their breakup — or their breakthrough? Featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, this intimate, electric play mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation. <br> “Critic's Pick! Adjmi ingeniously weaves sound and story into something as granular as it is operatic... A relentlessly compelling production by Daniel Aukin that has the grit of a documentary... as rich and lustrous as they come. You could even call it platinum.” — Jesse Green, _The New York Times_
