Music producer Ken Caillat has sued the makers of the Tony-winning Broadway play “Stereophonic,” which is about a fictitious ’70s band, accusing them of making an “unauthorized” version of his book about the making of Fleetwood Mac’s best-selling 1977 album “Rumours.”
Caillat and co-author Steven Stiefel state in the copyright infringement suit, which was filed Tuesday in New York federal court that play by David Adjmi “copies the heart and soul” and “uncannily duplicates” key events of their 2012 book, including the famed fights and break-ups of the real band.
The suit calls Adjmi’s insistence that he did not base the play on Caillat’s book “implausible.”
