🎭✨ Heads up LA Theater Fans! STEREOPHONIC — the most Tony-nominated play in Broadway history (13 noms!) and winner of multiple Tonys including Best Play — is having its Los Angeles premiere at the gorgeous Hollywood Pantages Theatre! Thank you so much to the Pantages for inviting me to the press opening. 🙏
Set in the 1970s, this electrifying, four-act play takes you into the recording studio with an up-and-coming rock band on the brink of superstardom. Tensions, passions, and creativity explode as they try to capture a perfect album…it was definitely giving Fleetwood Mac recording their iconic album Rumors.
Stereophonic is not a musical, but the original music performed by the actors onstage — composed by Will Butler of Arcade Fire — keeps things lively. I’m obsessed with the music, which reminded me of a mix of Fleetwood Mac, The Doors and Arcade Fire. I would LOVE to see a full concert from these actors! They absolutely create magic together.
At nearly three hours with a short intermission, Stereophonic is an immersive blend of drama and music that theater lovers and rock fans alike will adore. Break out your bellbottoms and embrace the 70s vibe, because this is an unforgettable night at the theater.
🎟️ Stereophonic is playiing through January 2nd at the Hollywood Pantages. I think tickets to a play make a fantastic Christmas present, so I hope you’ll treat yourself or the theater fan in your life.
