Tommy is a tale of a young boy’s journey from pain to triumph and is one of the most electrifying stage shows of rock and roll ever to play in a theatre. After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother’s lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into a state of apparent unresponsiveness. 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 unresponsive state, he becomes an international pinball superstar. The exhilarating score is timeless in its youthful appeal, giving the show a cross-generational attraction that has made it a smash-hit around the world.
