The parallels between Will Brill's personal journey and his character's are striking.

" Stereophonic " broke records as the most nominated play in Broadway history. The show gives a raw look at a fictitious rock band's yearlong process of recording an album while they are on the verge of mega stardom.

Eight shows a week pouring his heart out on stage, that's where you'll find Broadway's Will Brill. He plays Reg, the chaotic, hilarious, often under the influence heart of "Stereophonic," "When I first started, I was drinking a lot, I wrote a letter to myself in my phone about drinking alone, and I was sort of like, maybe you need to stop doing this," Brill said. "Fast-forward eight years, and I'm sober and divorced. I don't know if I would've been able to do it without sobriety, without my therapist, without antidepressants."

"In 2012, I was doing a play, one of the best experiences of my life, and I was also sharing a mattress on the floor of my best friend's living room, sleeping nose to toes with another homey," Brill said, reflecting on how far he's come. "For five months I was doing that. And so now I'm very grateful to be where I am."
