David Adjmi: Last News

More decades ago than many of us care to admit, a rock and roll album as gorgeous in sound as it was cantankerous in spirit arrived in record stores and on radio charts that could hardly have been less prepared for it. Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours stood along among the Bat Out Of Hells and Cat Scratch Fevers and Saturday Night Fevers. With its blend of voices as miraculous as its personalities were fractious, the era’s signature musical document was as much a mirror of its time as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band had been a decade earlier.

Producers of the Broadway hit Stereophonic have settled a lawsuit brought by a former sound engineer and producer of Fleetwood Mac who claimed the production used material from his memoir without authorization, specifically in the play’s depiction of a Mac-like 1970s rock band recording a Rumours-like album.

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline hears that cameras are rolling on the set of the Amazon MGM Orion Pictures’ feature take of the 3x Obie winning play, Is God Is with I’m a Virgo‘s Kara Young and Kindred‘s Mallori Johnson playing outcast twin sisters. Also starring are Oscar nominee and 3x Primetime Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown, Kill Bill‘s Vivica A. Fox and Moonlight actress and multi-Grammy nominee Janelle Monáe.

Stereophonic,” this year’s Tony Award winner for Best Play, and its landlord, the Shubert Organization, are being sued by writers Steven Stiefel and Ken Caillat, the Fleetwood Mac sound engineer/producer, who claim the popular show ripped off their 2012 book, “Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.”The pissed-off pair filed their lawsuit on Oct. 1 in Manhattan federal court.

Stereophonic, David Adjmi’s Tony-winning play, will extend its run through January 12, 2025, a move that producers say is the production’s final extension.

Playwrights Horizons, the longstanding and prominent Off Broadway theater company that launched the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit Stereophonic, has appointed a new managing director as it steers its way through what one exec calls “seismic” economic change for the nonprofit world.

About three-quarters of the way through every performance of David Adjmi’s Tony-winning play Stereophonic, two characters – Holly, the British keyboardist/vocalist (played by Juliana Canfield) and Grover, the American recording engineer (Eli Gelb) get into a debate over their favorite movies. Their favorite erotic movies, to be exact.

It’s going to be a huge night for the cast of Broadway’s Stereophonic and we have all of their red carpet photos!

Stereophonic, David Adjmi’s Broadway play about a ’70s Fleetwood Mac-type group, has announced a six-week extension following a slew of rave reviews.

Although “Stereophonic” is not a musical, it’s easy to get swept up by the terrific original rock songs that throb through it. Three hours and five minutes, with one intermission. At the John Golden Theatre, 252 West 45th Street.And as writer David Adjmi’s play, which opened Friday night at the John Golden Theatre, is set during the mid 1970s, Will Butler’s music sounds authentically of that edgier era.

Frank Rizzo There’s a moment in David Adjmi’s play “Stereophonic” when a discordant, mid-’70s band-on-the rise hears one of its songs played back to them in the recording studio for the first time, with all its multiple tracks layered together into an artful whole. It leaves the ever-bickering band suddenly speechless, emotionally stunned and still with the realization that they have just heard something truly great.

Ethan Shanfeld A little over 10 years ago, David Adjmi was on an airplane, listening to Led Zeppelin’s “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” and picturing Robert Plant recording the vocals. “It’s communicating desire and pain and anguish and torture and lust,” Adjmi says of the song. “I was thinking about all of these conflicting emotions and imagining him singing the raw vocal in a studio — the state he must have gotten into to sing it.” Adjmi then started envisioning the room — what it might look like — in his mind.

Stereophonic, the hit Off Broadway play about a Fleetwood Mac-esque ’70s rock band, will begin its Broadway transfer a day earlier than planned, with previews at the Golden Theatre now set to start on Tuesday, April 2.
