In 1969, The Who created a rock opera that changed the course of music history. And now, it’s back in a dazzling all-new production that feels more relevant than ever. 

Myth and spectacle combine in this fresh reinvention that includes 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. 

Tony Award®-winning composer Pete Townshend and Tony Award®-winning original director Des McAnuff find powerful resonance reexamining this classic story for today.
