Tom Kitt and Cameron Crowe's stage musical adaptation of Almost Famous is set to begin performances October 3 ahead of a November 3 opening night at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Get a sneak peek inside rehearsals for the upcoming musical below.

Yee.

Based on the 2000 film of the same name, the musical features a score by Tony and Pulitzer winner Kitt and a book and lyrics by Crowe, who earned an Oscar for penning the original film based on his own teenage experience. The coming-of-age story tracks a 15-year-old music fan named William who lands a Rolling Stone assignment following the emerging band Stillwater on tour. The musical had its world premiere at San Diego's Old Globe in 2019 with much of the same cast that will bring the work to Broadway. Read reviews from the California run here.
