More information on the show
Based on Nick Hornby’s iconic novel, High Fidelity: The Musical is a heart-pounding, soul-searching journey through love, music, and self-discovery. Created by Tony Award-winner Tom Kitt (music) and Amanda Green (lyrics), this dynamic musical adaptation blends catchy, contemporary tunes with the emotional depth of Hornby’s beloved characters.
The story follows Rob Gordon, a record store owner who is stuck in the past, endlessly replaying the “Top 5” most significant breakups of his life. As Rob struggles with his latest heartbreak and his inability to move forward, he embarks on a journey of self-reflection—an odyssey that’s both hilarious and poignant. Along the way, he confronts his past relationships, questions his identity, and navigates a complicated love triangle.
With songs that pulse with energy and emotion, High Fidelity captures the thrill and heartbreak of love in all its forms. From Rob’s obsession with music to his struggle to find meaningful connections, the musical’s vibrant score and witty lyrics invite audiences to laugh, cry, and sing along. Perfect for anyone who has ever tried to make sense of their past or find their way forward, High Fidelity is a celebration of music, growth, and the messiness of love.
