The Who's Tommy is a musical based on the rock opera Tommy, written and recorded by the 1960's band The Who.  The story follows the rise of the title character, Tommy, from a traumatizing childhood event that leaves him psychosomatically deaf, dumb and blind through an abusive adolescence and into stardom as a world champion pinball player. This mythic tale of a young boy's journey from pain to triumph includes such classic rock singles as "See Me, Feel Me" and "Pinball Wizard" and promises to be an one of the most electrifying evenings of rock and roll ever to play in a theatre.

This production is recommended for mature audiences.
