Chance Theater Extends TOMMY Through 8/15

Due to overwhelming ticket demand, the Chance Theater has extended the run of the innovative rock musical The Who's Tommy through August 15, 2010.

The added performances are August 8 at 7 p.m., August 13 at 8 p.m., August 14 at 8 p.m., and August 15 at 2 and 7 p.m.

The Who's Tommy is a roof-raising musical explosion based on The Who's 1969 concept album. This exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit is filled with iconic hit songs like "Pinball Wizard," "See Me, Feel Me," "Acid Queen" and more. The Who's Tommy originated at the La Jolla Playhouse in 1992 before playing on Broadway for more than two years. The show won five Tony Awards, including Best Score for The Who founder and guitarist Pete Townshend's memorable music.

Critics have raved about the Chance Theater production of The Who's Tommy. The show is a Back Stage Critic's Pick and is designated "Ovation Recommended" by LA Stage Alliance. In the OC Register, Eric Marchese states the show is "among the most impressive Orange County productions of the year." StageSceneLA calls Tommy "The Chance's most thrilling musical ever. Spectacle and intimacy in equal measure. I can't recall another show quite like it."
