Peter Townshend'stale of a young boy's journey from pain to triumph is the mostelectrifying evening of rock and roll ever to play in a theatre!

Afterwitnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father,Tommy is traumatized into catatonia, and as the boy grows, he suffersabuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As anadolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playingpinball, and when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, hebecomes an international pinball superstar.

The classic '60s rock opera by The Who was translated to the stage by theatrical wizard Des McAnuffinto a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event. The exhilaratingscore is timeless in its youthful appeal, giving the show across-generational appeal that has made it a smash-hit in high schoolsand colleges around the world.
