In 1969, the legendary rock opera The Who’s Tommy the Musical stunned audiences and made waves. A lost Tommy Walker finds himself lost in the universe. He struggles with being bullied, witnessing a murder, and dealing with abuse. Suddenly he is catapulted to local celebrity savior due to his skill at pinball. Tony Award-winning composer Pete Townshend and the Tony Award-winning original director Des McAnuff work together to re-examine this classic story for today. Myth and spectacle will come together to dazzle the audience. It will include popular songs such as “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me,” and “Pinball Wizard.” Goes until Nov 22.
