Synopsis
Rob Gordon is a pop-rock music lover
and record store owner in his thirties who likes to make "Top Five"
lists. He started his current list, his top five worst breakups,
because girlfriend Laura walked out on him. As he works through it
he faces the fact that there might be more to life than music, such
as becoming an adult
The Road to Broadway
High Fidelity proves that for
some productions it isn't too hard to get to Broadway. Based on a
novel by British author Nick Hornby, the only twists and turns taken
have been with the setting: from the author's native England, to the

New York City record shop
Stephen Frears directed John Cusack
as Rob and Iben Hjejle as Laura in the 2000 film. For a film that
flew way under the radar, grossing not quite $30 million during its
theatrical release, it had a great featured cast including Jack
Black, Joan Cusack, Tim Robbins and Catherine Zeta-Jones
The show will have a pre-Broadway run
at Boston's
