High Fidelity is a romantic musical comedy that follows the adventures of Rob, a record store owner who knows almost everything about pop music, but almost nothing about how to hang on to 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.
This new musical adaptation of Nick Hornby's best-selling novel marks the first-time collaboration of fast-rising songwriters Tom Kitt and Amanda Green (daughter of actress Phyllis Newman and the late lyricist Adolph Green) and book writer David Lindsay-Abaire (a Tony nominee last season for his play Rabbit Hole). A bright young cast led by Will Chase and Jenn Colella perform the lively rock score, bringing a fresh burst of energy to the Broadway season.
