Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll are back with a vengeance.

He may be deaf, dumb and blind but he sure plays a mean pinball. Following a traumatic childhood, Tommy's extraordinary talents catapult him to cult status.

The Who's 1969 rock opera, Tommy, was revolutionary. From it came this one-of-a-kind musical that scooped up five Tony Awards.

This story of hope and triumph over adversity will shake your soul with its unforgettable soundtrack. Smash hits like 'Pinball Wizard', 'I'm Free' and 'Acid Queen' take you back to the hard rock days of the psychedelic Sixties.
