|

 |
The Broadway musical based on Nick Hornby's best-selling novel, and the hit feature film, of the same name. High Fidelity follows the story of record-store owner Rob (and constant Top 5 listmaker) who — when things in his current relationship go sour — revisits his former relationships to find out where he went wrong.
Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Kimberly Akimbo, Fuddy Meers) penned the book with music by composer Tom Kitt (Laugh Whore, Debbie Does Dallas) and lyrics by Amanda Green (For the Love of Tiffany, Up The Creek Without A Paddle), and direction by Walter Bobbie (Chicago, Sweet Charity). |

Tom Kitt's music, a terrific fusion of pop and Broadway, manages to be both hip and accessible — not to mention insanely catchy... High Fidelity will probably only be remembered as a footnote to the 2006-07 Broadway season, but the original Broadway cast recording may well become one of your desert-island discs." - EW.com
"Green's words and Kitt's melodies do something that every good musical should try to accomplish — define character. High Fidelity's charms are considerable and don't be surprised if you fall under its spell." - Associated Press
"This is a musical that celebrates the power of pop culture with wit, verve and a killer beat. Nailing the music in all its varied forms is Tom Kitt's tuneful score and the sharp, funny and telling lyrics of Amanda Green." - Frank Rizzo, Variety
"The score soars. Amanda Green's intelligent lyrics and Tom Kitt's music blends a refreshingly hard-rock edge with musical theatre savvy." - Backstage Magazine |
