Stereophonic
January 6 - 25, 2026

The Most Tony-Nominated Play Of All Time
Written by David Adjmi, with songs by Will Butler of Arcade Fire, this heavily buzzed production takes you on a wild ride through the day-to-day of five rock musicians making an album in the early 70s. The story itself is one of infighting, frustration, romance, and rock'n'roll (all the things you'd expect from a disagreeing 70's band). David Adjmi notes he drew inspiration from iconic band Fleetwood Mac and came up with the idea while listening to Led Zepplin and pondering "What would it have been like to be in the studio when this was being recorded?".

SUFFS played its final Broadway performance at the Music Box Theatre on January 5, 2025, and now takes to the road on a national tour. You're invited along for the same ride they took all those years ago, so grab your placard and get ready to fight for what's right.
