Although Townshend and Daltrey are now in their late 60s, the Quadrophenia tour shows the Who are just as powerful and relevant as they were in 40 years ago.

THE WHO, one of rock's legendary and defining bands, have announced a major North American arena tour where they'll perform their iconic 1973 double album QUADROPHENIA in its entirety, along with a selection of WHO classics. The critically acclaimed QUADROPHENIA marked the British band's second rock opera (after Tommy), raised the bar for rock albums as an art form and hit #2 on the U.S. Billboard album chart. The tour will stop in Las Vegas at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino tonight, February 8, 2012, at 7:30 p.m.

Celebrated American singer/songwriter Todd Snider is now touring in support of his 12th album, Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables. Deemed 'America's sharpest musical storyteller' by Rolling Stone, Snider uses his Americana/alternative country/folk style to paint a world where begging turns to mugging, investment turns to ruin, babies grow into felons, and honesty is blunt trauma. The result is something disconcerting, cracked, and wholly original.

For one night only the smash-hit on Broadway and West End - Rock Opera 'Tommy' plays at the Prince Edward Theatre. This powerful tale of a deaf, mute and blind pinball player who becomes an international messiah bursts onto the stage in this multi-award winning adaptation of the original chart-topping rock album. Featuring the hit songs including Pinball Wizard and See Me, Touch Me. Casting will be announced soon.

Led by an ensemble that includes the always superb Michael Holder in the titular role of Tommy, the "deaf, dumb and blind kid" who becomes a "pinball wizard," setting off widespread public acclaim and becoming a cause celebre in the process, Tommy in Concert also features the inspired pairing of Holly Shepherd and Ben Van Diepen as Mrs. Walker and Captain Walker. Despite the age difference of the two actors-not to mention their youthfulness in relation to Holder's casting as their onstage son-Shepherd and Van Diepen are believably cast as young lovers who marry in the early days of World War II only to find that first blush of romantic dreaminess devolve into the nightmarish consequences that set the show's plot in motion.
