Photo Flash: In Rehearsal for THE WHO'S TOMMY at HMAC: Stage On Herr
You only have two chances to see THE WHO'S TOMMY: A ROCK OPERA being performed at The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center, April 22nd and 23rd. Directed by Sean Deffley, THE WHO'S TOMMY will feature choreography by Rebecca Gentry and music direction by Nicholas Werner. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in rehearsal below!
Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, THE WHO'S TOMMY is an exhilarating story of hope, healing, and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed, and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage by theatrical wizard Des McAnuff into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event.
After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia, and as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball, and when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar.
THE WHO'S TOMMY features an exhilarating score that is timeless in its youthful appeal, giving the show a cross-generational appeal that has made it a smash-hit around the world. The cast includes: Mrs. Walker: Lindsay Bretz; Capt. Walker: Ryan Boyles; The Lover: Chad Moritz; Uncle Ernie: Josh Schwartz; Tommy: Vince Fazzolari; Cousin Kevin: Preston H. Schreffler; Hawker: Aaron Rodriguez; The Acid Queen: Stacey D. Werner; Sally Simpson: Lorel Holt; and Specialist: Greg Athanasatos.
