I am a huge fan of the Lincoln Center production of Our Town and have tickets to see the revival. Now I am rethinking things. What are your thoughts with seeing Stereophonic instead?

Absolutely “Stereophonic” over this particular production of “Our Town”.

Stereophonic is a remarkable play and given the challenge of mounting it with actor-musicians, you might not have a chance to see it done as well regionally.
You can see a good production of Our Town anytime.

Thanks, I saw your comment re Our Town and appreciate the input!

Stereophonic is a fine play and has excellent performances but I believe there are replacements about to join the company and so much is dependent on that ensemble.
Our Town is such a great play and this is a beautifully realized production. Jim Parsons is giving a wonderful performance as the Stage Manager and Katie Holmes, Richard Thomas, Ephraim Sykes and Zoe Deutch are also in top-notch firm. Having never seen it on Broadway, I was truly mesemerized and deeply moved. I would suggest trying to see both productions.
Stereophonic by the way is 3 hours and Our Town is 100 fast-moving minutes...in case you have a time crunch situation.

Stereophonic! Saw it twice, one of the best plays I have seen this year!

I'll be that person and would recommend Our Town over Stereophonic. I saw the latter with the original cast and even then left with the feeling that it didn't earn 3 hours of my time. Stereophonic is a very well written play but the impact of the devastating 3rd act alone makes Our Town a worthier visit. Zoey Deutch is phenomenal in this. I would have chosen Stereophonic with the absolutely perfect original cast, but not sure how the replacements are doing. My vote is for Our Town.

I would vote for "Stereophonic", absolutely loved it when I saw it several months ago. Like others have said, I don't think that will be a show that tours but what the heck do I know.

I haven't even seen Our Town yet and I'll vote for Stereophonic. Truly a unique and special production that isn't likely to be duplicated nearly as well anywhere else.

"Stereophonic,....but not this new cast."
So... Our Town? Or are you recommending Back to the Future?
