Stevie Nicks once sang, “Thunder only happens when it’s raining.”
Well, there’s a downpour of drama over at the Golden Theatre on Broadway.
The playwright and producers of “Stereophonic,” this year’s Tony Award winner for Best Play, and its landlord, the Shubert Organization, are being sued by writers Steven Stiefel and Ken Caillat, the Fleetwood Mac sound engineer/producer, who claim the popular show ripped off their 2012 book, “Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.”
The pissed-off pair filed their lawsuit on Oct. 1 in Manhattan federal court.
Why the Mac attack?
Playwright David Adjmi’s “Stereophonic,” you see, is about a fictional 1970s rock band made up of three men and two women — three Brits, two Americans — angstily recording their second album in a Sausalito, Calif., studio, as told from the perspective of a young sound engineer.
