"I love Pete Townsend. The Who’s Tommy - you can’t go wrong. However, this production did go wrong.

Good luck next time. "

About The Who's Tommy

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.
