Stereophonic, the 2024 Tony-winning Best Play, may only have one week left in its Broadway engagement, but the band isn't calling it quits: they're hitting the road.
The recently-recouped Broadway run will come to an end January 12 at the Golden Theatre, after 305 performances and two lengthy extensions. After a brief breather, the production will roar back to life in May 2025 with a West End engagement at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre, with a tour of the United States scheduled to begin in October.
The current Broadway cast features Benjamin Anthony Anderson, Tony winner Will Brill, Andrew Butler, Amy Forsyth, Eli Gelb, Rebecca Naomi Jones, and Chris Stack. Brill, Butler, Gelb, and Stack have been with the production since its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons. Butler, Gelb, and Stack will continue with the production to London. Further casting for the West End production will be announced at a later date.

Written by David Adjmi, Stereophonic follows an unnamed '70s rock band recording their sophomore album. It features original music by Will Butler, formerly of the band Arcade Fire. Stereophonic made history last year by earning 13 Tony Award nominations: the most of any play, ever. It went on to win five Tonys, including Best Play, Best Director (Daniel Aukin), Best Featured Actor (Will Brill), Best Scenic Design (David Zinn) and Best Sound Design (Ryan Rumery).
The national tour of Stereophonic will officially launch at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, WA as part of STG’s Broadway at the Paramount 2025-2026 Season. Additional cities, dates, and other relevant information will be announced at a later date. The tour will be produced by Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, and Ashley Melone and Nick Mills.
In addition to all of the production news, it has also been announced that Concord Theatricals has secured the exclusive worldwide English-Language licensing rights for the play. Information on that acquisition can be found here.
