Stereophonic sounds a lot like the story of Daisy Jones & The Six, which sounded a lot like Fleetwood Mac. A 1970s band—made up of two women and three men—is at the cusp of celebrity, but their drug habits and romantic relationships test them at a moment when they could either break through or break up. “It’s almost using snippets from various bands’ histories and the histories of making some of these famous albums and using it as a sort of distant echo,” the director Daniel Aukin told The New York Times.“We talked about many bands but we never talked about one.” Whether or not Aukin based Stereophonic on one band, one thing is for sure: the success rate for narratives about musical ensembles is high. The play brings audiences through passion and anger, disappointments and accomplishments, naiveté and reality. “A fiery family drama,” writes the critic Naveen Kumar, “as electrifying as any since Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” —Jeanne Malle
