The Who's Tommy
Musical
Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff's tale of a young boy's journey from pain to triumph is the most electrifying rock and roll musical experience to play in a theatre. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who overcomes his adversities has inspired, amazed, and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. With a score that includes Tommy Can You Hear Me, I'm Free, Pinball Wizard and See Me, Feel Me, this show is a must-see for fans of The Who and musical theatre alike.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the mature content and themes addressed in this production, 'The Who's Tommy' is recommended for patrons 16+.
