The Who’s Tommy

In 1969, The Who created a rock opera that changed the course of music history. After witnessing his father shoot his mother’s lover, 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, deaf, dumb, and blind adolescent to celebrity savior. Myth and spectacle combine in this fresh reinvention featuring unforgettable anthems including I’m Free, See Me Feel Me, Sensation, and Pinball Wizard. Tony Award winning composer Pete Townshend and Tony Award winning original director Des McAnuff find powerful resonance reexamining this classic story for today, following the show’s acclaimed 2024 Broadway revival nominated for Best Revival of a Musical. The original 1993 Broadway production of The Who’s Tommy won five Tony Awards including Best Original Score for Townshend and Best Direction for McAnuff, and this North American tour brings the full creative team’s electrifying vision, complete with groundbreaking projections and choreography by Lorin Latarro, back to the road.
