Based on the movie starring John Cusack.

The musical High Fidelity, based on Nick Hornby's novel of the same name, follows the adventures of Rob, a record store owner who knows almost everything about pop music but almost nothing about how to hang onto a girl. Rob's love life, already a broken record of heartache, falls off the charts completely when he gets dumped by Laura. But that just sets him up for one of the top five romantic comebacks ever.
