STEREOPHONIC's Will Brill Wins Tony Award For Best Performance By An Actor In A Featured Role In A Play
Music to our ears! Will Brill has won the Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for his stellar performance as Reg in Stereophonic. Brill was crowned onstage at the 2024 Tony Awards at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater. He beat out fellow nominees Eli Gelb for Stereophonic, Jim Parsons for Mother Play, Tom Pecinka for Stereophonic, and Corey Stoll for Appropriate.
This remarkable achievement marks not only Brill’s first Tony win but also his first nomination. Brill was last seen on Broadway in the 2019 Best Revival of a Musical Tony-winning production of Oklahoma!, where he played the role of Ali Hakim.
Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. In Stereophonic, Adjmi invites the audience to immerse themselves—with fly-on-the-wall intimacy—in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.
