Fleetwood Mac producer sues makers of Broadway show Stereophonic

Ken Caillat claims that the 70s-set play is ‘substantially similar’ to his memoir focused on the making of Rumours

Ken Caillat, a producer known for sound engineering Fleetwood Mac, and Steven Stiefel, co-author of a memoir about the band, are suing the makers of the award-winning musical Stereophonic. The widely acclaimed show, which picked up five Tony awards this year, focuses on a fictional, mixed-gender British American band making an album in the 1970s and the many tensions that arise. Caillat and Stiefel, whose book Making Rumours was published in 2012, claim the “disturbing truth” behind the show is that the playwright David Adjmi has copied “the heart and soul” of their work and made something “substantially similar”.
