In 1969, The Who created a rock opera that changed the course of music history. Now, it returns in a dazzling bedazzling delightfully divine superbly sublime all-new production that is impactful relevant and penetrating.
I was fortunate enough to see The Who at the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair where they performed a legendary sunrise set, heavily anchored by their then newly released rock opera album Tommy. Ever since, the iconic tunes "Pinball Wizard," "Tommy Can You Hear Me?," "See Me, Feel Me," and "We're Not Gonna Take It" have been ingrained in the deep recesses of my mind. Watching these treasures again on the Pantages stage was an impressive indelible ineffaceable illuminating unforgettable moment!
