The hot, new Broadway show “Stereophonic” is making a lot of noise.
On Tuesday, April 30, the explosive behind the music ’70s rock drama nabbed a record 13 Tony nominations including Best Play, Best Original Score, and Best Direction.
Most notably, five of the show’s seven performers — Eli Gelb, Will Brill, Tom Pecinka, Juliana Canfield, and Sarah Pidgeon — received Best Performance nods.
Reviews for the documentary-like “Stereophonic” have been rapturous; the New York Post, New York Times, and Time Out New York all gave writer David Adjmi’s play, about a Fleetwood Mac-like band on the cusp of producing a great album, raves.
“’Stereophonic,’ directed by Daniel Aukin, is undeniably transportive, and it’s a pleasure to be immersed in this creatively robust decade for a while,” the Post’s Johnny Oleksinski writes.
“It’s easy to get swept up by the terrific original rock songs (by former Arcade Fire member Will Butler) that throb through it…The former Arcade Fire member’s impressive jams are melodious and raw; earthy rather than trippy; the stuff of the best cross-country road trips.”
If this buzzy new play at Broadway’s John Golden Theatre — that’s not a musical but is almost exclusively about the music — sounds like the show for you, we’re happy to report tickets can be scooped up for all upcoming performances.
For now, seats are surprisingly affordable, too.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $63 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Most other nights have seats starting in the $70 to $90 range before fees.

“Stereophonic” cast
Five of the show’s seven cast members received Tony nominations but we’d like to spotlight the whole ensemble.
Here are quick bios of the “Stereophonic” players.
Eli Gelb (Grover) may look familiar. He’s appeared in HBO’s “The Newsroom” and films like “The Squid and the Whale,” “Holy Rollers” and “Not Fade Away.” You might have also caught him at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s “Skintight.”
Will Brill (Reg) workshopped “Stereophonic” as far back as 2015. Most recently, he showed up in the Broadway revival of “Oklahoma!” Notable roles include work in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The OA” and “Test Pattern.”
Tom Pecinka (Peter) studied at Fordham University and received his MFA from the Yale School of Drama before making his bones off-Broadway and on television and film. He has shown up in the TV series “American Rust” as well as the movies “The Kill Room” and “Oh, Canada.”
Juliana Canfield (Holly) will probably stick out to “Succession” fans. She played Kendall Roy’s assistant Jess Jordan. That’s not all she’s done, though. In addition to a number of off-Broadway roles, she’s been in the films “The Assistant” and “On The Rock” as well as the Academy Award-winning short “The Neighbor’s Window.”
Sarah Pidgeon (Diana) recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Tiny Beautiful Things” as the younger version of Kathryn Hahn’s character. Next, she’ll star in the upcoming feature film “Lazareth” alongside Ashley Judd.
Andrew R. Butler (Charlie) isn’t just an actor; he also writes and composes. You may have seen him in “Girls5Eva” but astute theater fans will recognize him for his work in the award-winning off-Broadway musical “Rags Parkland Sings The Songs Of The Future.”
Chris Stack (Simon) rounds out the cast. He’s previously worked with “Stereophonic” writer David Adjmi on “Marie Antoinette” at Soho Rep. Stack has also been in the films “School of Rock” and “Midday Black Midnight Blue” as well as the TV series “Interview with the Vampire.”
