Almost Famous

Almost Famous is the exhilarating Broadway musical based on the beloved Cameron Crowe film. Set in 1973, it follows a teenage journalist who lands the assignment of a lifetime: touring with an up-and-coming rock band for Rolling Stone magazine. As he’s swept up in the chaos, romance, and rebellion of the music world, he discovers the true meaning of family, truth, and finding your voice. Bursting with heart, humor, and unforgettable music, Almost Famous is a must-see celebration of youth, passion, and the power of rock & roll.

This will be the first production of the musical since its 2022 Broadway debut—and will be a thrilling reimagining of the production, featuring a revised book and score by the original Broadway team: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning composer Tom Kitt, and Academy Award–winning writer and filmmaker Cameron Crowe. In a unique collaboration, both Kitt and Crowe will be working directly with A.C.T. of CT Artistic Director, Daniel C. Levine who will direct the production. Bryan Perri, the original Broadway music supervisor of Almost Famous, will return to music supervise the Ridgefield production.
