Story

Myth and spectacle combine in The Who’s exhilarating 1969 rock opera, Tommy—including the unforgettable anthems “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me,” “Sensation” and “Pinball Wizard.” After witnessing his father shoot his rival, the young Tommy Walker is lost in the universe, endlessly and obsessively staring into the mirror. An innate knack for pinball catapults him from reticent adolescent to celebrity savior.

wow! You’ve got to love Tommy!
"We thought the show was spectacular! Incredible music, staging, and the actors were great, especially the young Tommy’s! However, I think it would be hard to follow if you didn’t know the story of Tommy. any who fans should see it before it closes which is soon!"

Tommy deserves a longer run on Broadway!
"I want to thank my wife for making sure that we did not miss this amazing performance! It was 25 years between revivals and this show should stick around! The audience was so into it and the cast was so incredible. It's a shame there's only 10 days left. I hope they keep it"
