Tom Kitt, Amanda Green, and David Lindsay-Abaire’s High Fidelity is a new musical based on author Nick Hornby’s popular work directed by Tony winner Walter Bobbie, and produced by Avenue Q team Jeffrey Seller, Robyn Goodman, and Kevin McCollum.
This world-premiere production comes to Boston for a pre-Broadway tryout. Based on the best-selling novel High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (later a popular film by Touchstone Pictures), the romantic musical comedy follows the adventures of Rob, a record store owner who knows almost everything about pop music, but almost nothing about how to hang onto a girl. Rob’s love life, already a broken record of heartache, falls off the charts completely when he gets dumped by Laura… but that just sets him up for one of the top 5 romantic comebacks ever.
