Myth and spectacle combine in The Who’s exhilarating 1969 rock opera, Tommy—including the unforgettable anthems “I’m Free,” “See Me, Feel Me,” “Sensation” and “Pinball Wizard.” After witnessing his father shoot his rival, the young Tommy Walker is lost in the universe, endlessly and obsessively staring into the mirror. An innate knack for pinball catapults him from reticent adolescent to celebrity savior.

"I only knew of this due to the song Pinball Wizard from the 70s. I knew nothing about the story or in fact that there was a story.
It was well presented and the music was mindblowing
Extraordinary and recommended "

"We thought the show was spectacular! Incredible music, staging, and the actors were great, especially the young Tommy’s! However, I think it would be hard to follow if you didn’t know the story of Tommy. any who fans should see it before it closes which is soon!"

"I want to thank my wife for making sure that we did not miss this amazing performance! It was 25 years between revivals and this show should stick around! The audience was so into it and the cast was so incredible. It's a shame there's only 10 days left. I hope they keep it"

"A lot of flash, not as much substance. Too much preamble. The Acid Queen is the best scene. Pinball Wizard also excellent but many scenes mediocre. Some questionable poetic license. Rarely was I wowed. It’s not terrible, just meh. "

"I love Pete Townsend. The Who’s Tommy - you can’t go wrong. However, this production did go wrong. Set, lighting, costumes and sound were all off and disappointingly didn’t work well with the Rock Opera. Most singers and dancers range were subpar. Understand why the show is closing early. Good luck next time. "
