<br>
<span style="background:white">Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, "The Who's Tommy" is an exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired,
amazed and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage by the theatrical wizard, Des McAnuff, into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia and, as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's
discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball and, when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">CASTING REQUIREMENTS</span><br>
<span style="background:white">We are seeking to cast a diverse cast of talented and committed performers ages 16 and older — except for two younger performers to portray Tommy at different ages (one as a 4- to 6-year-old and one slightly older as a 10- to
12-year-old). Parents are urged to familiarize themselves with the material in advance of the auditions. Here's a link to a copy of the script:
