Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire's Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

The West End's New Favourite Band: Meet the Full Stereophonic London Cast

Fresh off a critically acclaimed, Tony award-winning run in New York, Stereophonic has blasted into the West End and the cast is already making waves. David Adjmi’s electrifying play, backed by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler’s original music, takes us inside the pressure-cooker world of a 1970s rock band recording their next big album.The result? A five-star theatrical experience with the tension of The Bear, the romance of Almost Famous, and the sonic soul of Daisy Jones & the Six.

Here’s the full West End cast who are bringing this love letter to analog rock to life.

Who plays Charlie in the West End cast?
Andrew R. Butler plays Charlie, the laconic, contemplative studio assistant. This marks his London debut, following his Broadway debut in Stereophonic, where he was part of the Drama Desk Award–winning ensemble. A fun bit of trivia: back in 2018, Butler and his creative partner Andrew Farmer were awarded the prestigious Jonathan Larson Grant for rising talents in musical theatre.

Who plays Grover in the West End cast?
Eli Gelb reprises his acclaimed performance as Grover, the chief sound engineer who quickly realises he shouldn’t have lied on his CV. Gelb is best known for his performance in Stereophonic on Broadway, and has appeared on screen in The Squid and the Whale (2005), Indignation (2016), and HBO’s The Newsroom (2012). Up next, he’ll appear in Kelly Reichardt’s film The Mastermind, starring alongside Josh O’Connor.

Who plays Reg in the West End cast?
Zachary Hart takes on the role of Reg, the British bassist who has a penchant for philosophy, as well as a bag full of coke. Hart previously starred in The Seagull at the Barbican and The Constituent at the Old Vic.

Review Roundup: What are the critics saying about Stereophonic?

Set in a 1976 music studio, Stereophonic delves into the creative tensions of an up-and-coming rock band as they record a new album. On the verge of superstardom, the band faces mounting pressures that could either propel them to greatness or tear them apart.

What is Stereophonic about?

Written by David Adjmi, this electrifying play brings the audience into the high-stakes process of artistic creation, offering a fly-on-the-wall perspective on a band balancing ambition, relationships, and the weight of potential fame.

Stereophonic made its world premiere on Broadway in 2024, where it became the most Tony-nominated play in history, with 13 nominations. It went on to win multiple Tony Awards, including Best Play. Following an extended Broadway run, it transferred to the West End in May 2025, where it plays at the Duke of York’s Theatre. Featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, the production invites audiences to step into the vibrant and volatile world of 1970s rock.

Stereophonic review: It isn't a musical, or a play. It's an event

Stereophonic review: It isn't a musical, or a play. It's an event

If you enjoyed The Beatles: Get Back documentary, Stereophonic might just be your next obsession. David Adjmi’s intimate portrayal of a promising young band hits all the right notes (once the technician sorted out the reverb).

What makes Stereophonic remarkable is its realism; capturing the deeply unglamorous moments that contribute to creative brilliance and personal disaster. The show starts without a stadium style build-up, there’s no swell of music or a quiet hush that announces the band’s arrival. In fact, the house lights are still up when Diana (Lucy Karczewski) and Peter (Jack Riddiford), - one of the band's couples - saunter onto the stage. Dressed in effortlessly cool suede, flares and oranges, they match the recording studio's 70s aesthetic. It’s soon apparent why they blend in with the furniture so well - the studio isn’t just their work space, or their home, it is a part of them. 

And for the next 3 hours, we feel like we’re part of it too. Like flies on the wall, we observe the space, designed in such detail by David Zinn, as it is abused, crashed in, and fought over. And we watch as these flawed friends-cum-lovers-cum-enemies test each other artistically and personally.
