Rock-Legende Pete Townshend erzahlt in Tommy die außergewohnliche Geschichte eines Jungen, der in den Wirren des Zweiten Weltkriegs zur Welt kommt und mit vier Jahren erleben muss, wie sein heimkehrender Vater den Liebhaber seiner Mutter totet. Die traumatische Erfahrung lasst ihn erblinden und verstummen. Erst als junger Mann erlangt er seine Sinne wieder und wird als „Pinball Wizard' gegen seinen Willen zum Messias der Massen. ? Tommy, die erste Rockoper, war 1969 das ambitionierte und erfolgreiche Projekt der Rockband „The Who', eine komplexe Geschichte mit den Mitteln der Rockmusik zu erzahlen. Ken Russell verfilmte das Konzeptalbum 1975. Die Musicalversion stammt von 1993, wurde fast 1000-mal am Broadway gespielt und gewann funf Tony Awards, u. a. fur die beste Musik.
