Producers of the Broadway play Stereophonic have settled a lawsuit brought by former Fleetwood Mac sound engineer and producer Ken Caillat.

In the initial suit, filed in the Southern District Court of New York in October, Caillat and his co-author Steven Stiefel alleged that the script of Stereophonic took copyrighted material from their 2012 book Making Rumours to create the play, which won the 2024 Tony Award for best play.

The parties have resolved the dispute in principle and said in a court filing earlier this week that two parties were working to finalize the settlement and get it in writing. The exact terms of the settlement were not disclosed. In the suit, Caillat and Stiefel alleged that scenes in the play were substantially similar to passages from the book and say the premise of setting the play in the recording studio, with the audience having the point of view of the sound engineer, replicates the trajectory of the book.

Utilizing the set in the recording studio, Stereophonic then presents a nearly identical story arc as Making Rumours, which Mr. Caillat described as Kens Wild Ride. Making Rumours depicts Mr. Caillats career and relationship with Fleetwood Mac during the making of the Rumours album, by introducing songs and key events in the order that Mr. Caillat experienced during the making of the album. Stereophonic uncannily duplicates this precise arc, the suit alleged.

The initial suit was brought against playwright David Adjmi as well as the plays commercial Broadway producers, the theater owner and nonprofit developers of the play, which opened on Broadway in April 2024 and is running through Jan. 12, 2025. Additionally, the suit argued that Adjmis plan to adapt the play into a movie interfered with Caillats plans for a film based on his book.

The motion this week lists the defendants as the Stereophonic producers Seaview Productions, Sonia Friedman Productions, Linden Productions, Playwrights Horizons, The Shubert Organization, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Ashley Melone and Nick Mills.
