The year is 1973 and it's all happening. Led Zeppelin is king, Richard Nixon is President, and idealistic 15-year-old William Miller is an aspiring music journalist. When Rolling Stone magazine hires him to go on the road with an up-and-coming band, William is thrust into the rock-and-roll circus, where his love of music, his longing for friendship, and his integrity as a writer collide. Almost Famous is a spirited tale of fandom, family, and the unforgettable characters you'll meet along the way. Turn it up!
Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone said of the Broadway production, "I fell in love with rock and roll again. Almost Famous is a night of wit and warmth, and deep feeling. Cameron Crowe has brought fresh new life to his great coming-of-age classic."
