Stereophonic, the 2024 Tony Award-winning Best Play, enters the final week of its history-making, smash-hit, twice-extended Broadway engagement having recouped its investment on Broadway and with two more productions set to begin performances later this year. The sensation-causing David Adjmi play, which last spring became the most Tony Award-nominated play in history, will begin a West End engagement in May 2025 at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre, and a U.S. national tour will commence this October in Seattle.
The record-breaking Broadway production will end its run on Sunday (1/12/25) after 305 performances at the Golden Theatre. Directed by Tony winner Daniel Aukin, and with music by Grammy Award winner Will Butler, Stereophonic stars Benjamin Anthony Anderson, Tony Award winner Will Brill, Andrew Butler, Amy Forsyth, Rebecca Naomi Jones, and Chris Stack.
After making its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons in the fall of 2023, Stereophonic made history by earning 13 Tony Award nominations in June 2024, the most of any play ever. It went on to win five Tonys, including Best Play, Best Director (Aukin), Best Featured Actor (Will Brill), Best Scenic Design (David Zinn) and Best Sound Design (Ryan Rumery), and capped Tony night with a live performance on the telecast. Originally scheduled for a 14-week-only Broadway engagement, the production was extended twice by popular demand and has played to sold out houses since its opening night.
The West End production of Stereophonic will be produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Linden Productions and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills.
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 ticket on sale dates will be announced soon. The National Tour of Stereophonic will be produced by Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Seaview, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills.
