The “BIG STORM” is not arriving until early Sunday morning so I would hop on a ticket or three for tonight’s 7:30 p.m. performance in spite of the cold. If a good laugh is what you need to warm up then this show is a good bet (especially in the second act).

STEREOPHONIC

CONNOR PALACE (KEY BANK BROADWAY SERIES)

January 6-26/ 2026

The touring production of STEREOPHONIC was, in the mind of this observer, unfortunately, less than expected! (I wish I had seen the Broadway show as the basis for comparison.)

Howard Gollop

With a hyper-realistic set by David Zinn and costumes by Enver Chakartash, which evoke the' 70s without smacking of nostalgia, the intimate world of the recording studio magically resonates in the potentially cavernous Connor Palace. Classic rock is still beatin' in Cleveland.

Sheri Gross

All in all, “Stereophonic” is a bold theatrical choice, with live performances that are genuinely thrilling, and for rock enthusiasts, it offers a fascinating peek into the “messy kitchen” that holds the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the making of an album, not to mention the relationship rollercoaster that adds a whole separate layer of highs and lows. But the desire for more songs, the repetitive arguments, and the uneven pacing may cause you to short-circuit earlier than expected.

Mark Horning

This is one of those shows that you will either love or hate or both. There is not a lot of middle ground on this one. Along with the long sit time there are some pretty intense emotional scenes that cut pretty deep. At the opening night intermission some members of the audience opted to leave while those that stayed were rewarded with an exceptional study in social collapse. It was well worth sticking around for.

Laura Kennelly

Stereophonic, the 2024 Best Play Tony Award winner, kicked off its Cleveland run at Playhouse Square January 6 with a determination-testing, attention-challenging performance that lasted over three hours. The tests, the challenges, were for the audience; the actors seemed perfectly at ease. To see a full review of this show, read Laura's posts at Cool Cleveland.

The result is a fragmented experience that can leave the audience restless.
