BAND ON THE RUN
The Independent

Tony-winning musical Stereophonic is a compelling, stylish portrait of 1970s rock in the making, writes Alice Saville
Duke of York's Theatre, London
There's a distinct, unhurried fascination that comes with watching a band thrash out a new album in the recording studio - as anyone who's ploughed through Peter Jackson's epic eight-hour 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back will testify. Boredom and beauty coexist as riffs are hammered out, rows erupt, and gems glimmer amid sonic rubble. David Adjmi's multi-award-winning Broadway hit Stereophonic trains its gaze on a fictional, Fleetwood Mac-inspired group as they spend a year in the studio in 1970s California, shooting for perfection. It's slow-moving and intense, the stasis only broken by carefully rationed bursts of music by Arcade Fire's Will Butler.
