<b><u>About the Show:</u></b> Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, <i>The Who's Tommy</i> 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. Containing such classics as “Go to the Mirror,” “Acid Queen,” and “Pinball Wizard,” this five-time Tony Award-winning musical is a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Synopsis:</u> </b>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.<br>
